hi, I recently was faced with the death of my gtp consuela. she was a maruke x aru, a very great looking snake. anyways, i had her for about 2 months and she was doing great, just gettin acclimated and settled in. i was able to handle her very easy (for a green tree python that is). however, i for two weeks she refused to eat (i attempted to feed 3 times). she looked healthy and was active. one day, i walk in to find her on the ground fallen off her perch. she was too weak to stay on for long so i let her be and her belly was slightly bloated. she had pooped in tiny amounts a few times and was very liquidy. this was late in the day so the vet was closed. a truly depressing sight. she occassionally weezed with her mouth slightly open so i was hoping she just had a minor case of RI and i could bring her to the vet the next day ASAP to correct it. sadly she didnt make it long into the next day.



please can anyone tell me what may have been wrong?

it's been bothering me a lot and i would greatly appreciate any response.
