Sorry to hear that. I woke up today and thought I killed my scrub python. I treated her for mites last night and she was sleeping with her head at a funny angle. Thankfully she was only sleeping. But I had a split second of the heartache you must have felt today. That's never fun.

At the zoo I worked at last year a copperhead died in a similar way. The keepers were commenting on how nice she looked and 20 minutes later I came in and found her dead. After a necropsy it was determined anemic, but no other signs. I had a male burm die suddenly one Easter who was in perfect health the day before.
