I actually took the wet shavings into consideration, from there I came up with 2 causes of death. Either dehydration or poisoning... Maybe the substrate was sprayed with provent a mite or something similar? Then once wet the snake tried to drink off of it, thus being poisoned.
But from personal experience I'd say the snake dying while biting itself plus a shed stuck on it is from not having water. I've seen such more times than I'm proud of.
Nice looking stripers though, hopefully your buddy pops out another hypo next year! ----- www.kingpinreptiles.com
