I'm so sorry to hear that Steve 8(
I have a friend that has had some litters before with premature drops and his VET. said that the main reasons can be mainly the temps and stress! Sometimes the females might go back to their hot spot if they feel stressed in any way.. This could inclued dirty caging. Some people feel not to disturb the gravid females at all during the whole time when ovulation starts. Having a clean cage with good humidity will always keep a snake happy! Im not saying you probably didn't do that but I think a very clean cage and a cage ready with the bumped up heat for gravid females should insure a healthy litter. But again sometimes that is still not the case mabey she just wasn't ready for that one. Im sure you treat your snakes like their your kids so I bet none of your collection gets stressed! Good Luck next time! 8)
Later,
JAKE
