sounds like he was overrun with bad bacteria. From what I understand the bad bacteria is always there, but environmental stresses can cause the good bacteria to flourish. Animals that have high bacteria loads are often stricken with frequent respitory infections. sounds like your boa died of blood poisoning caused by this high bacteria load. As for what caused the bacteria load, it could be from not being able to escape the bacteria passed through the system (dirty cages) , exposure to another sick animal, or possibly it has always been high but something in his environment allowed the bacteria to flourish (cooling). Anyway... I'm no expert, but that's what it sounds like. ----- Got Bats?
