All righty, now that you have been thoroughly chastised (joking)...



Could you tell us a bit about your environmental conditions?

Humidity range, temperature range (esp. hot spots), substrate, cage size, etc?

What did you use for a mite treatment? Is it possible the snake came with internal parasites as well as the external?

Since some keepers here feel the snake was dehydrated, did you use regular tap water or something special?



I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Perhaps if we can help you track down the cause of your snake's illness, be it IBD or something else, we can help you prevent it in the rest of the collection.
