I lost several snakes when I first started. Several hundred in vet bills, hours spent obsessing, trying to find the problem......well, last year we moved, and not one of my snakes has been ill at all since then. Thank Goodness!! One vet almost had me convinced I had to destroy my entire collection due to a "particularly virilant strain of salmonella" (SP?).........thank goodness a neighbor who just happened to be a people doctor clued me in that ALL salmonella is particularly virilant!
Don't give up. I lost 5 in about 5 months time, thought I must be the worst keeper ever, but no problems now! (Gotta go find some wood to knock on or something so Murphies law don't bite me in the butt now!)
Sorry about your baby, I know how hard it is after you try so hard to save them to just have them waste away anyway.
