HH is perfectly right on with his post. I feel that klnowledge on these creatures is very crucial to a healthy and happy Burmese python and any snake for that matter. Temperatures are so important and they can cost the snake their life. Had i known this when i owned my first Burmese i would have inspected the tank that my buddy was pet sitting my last Burmese in. Thinking back i remember him saying that she ate like a monster but just died out of the blue. Snakes don't just die. There's always a reason for their death, weather it be old age, infections, or some other illness. I'm pretty sure that the snake that i left with a friend of mine was eating fine but simply wasn't given the correct temperature gradients that they NEED. Like said don't take this offensive but its better to know this than not. Also, do take your other snake(s) to the vet cause they may have caught the infection and you have seen signs so it would be best to check them out before its too late. And get the Temps on point. That's all. Hope i helped. I'm terribly sorry for your loss. I know how it feels!
