The snake was picked up around noon this morning. I am located in NE fla. The weather is wet and alittle chilly but we arent running the heaters in the house yet. He used a plastic shoe box tub. He called me and stated they where in the car about 1hour and 20 minutes. Its about 45 minute ride back to his place. Probably had the heat on in the car but not sure. He reported to me he took him in the house and place him in a tub with water dish and when he went back to check on him he was dead and white fluid coming from his mouth.

My biggest issue is not the money but this was one of my favorites. I told him to place it in the freezer and have a vet diagnose him. I also explained it sounded like dehydration to me.

Probably 3 hours expired before he called.

I am just upset I lost a very good looking snake.
