I am so very sorry to hear about you losing your snake.

In times like this, answers to these tough questions may never be found. I hope the autopsy reveals some clues.

Myself and every one I know that has kept snakes, bred snakes, and kept and bred snakes, has experienced something similar. If the care was top notch, and everything was appearing to be going good, from feeding, to defecating, to everything, and you know you were doing everything right, then there is also the possibility of realizing that some snakes only make it to a certain age, and are destined to pass away due to some internal issues that they may have been born with, that no one would have ever even known anything about until it happened.

Again, I am very sorry.

Take care!
