Sudden Death?

Orocosos Feb 14, 2006 08:22 PM

One of my friend's ball python has suddenly died. I believe that the snake was around a year old, and he apparently had not been eating for four months. He had been drinking regularly. The snake still appeared healthy. Does anyone have an idea of what could have caused the snake's death?

Could have been a lot of things - take it to the vet and have them do a necrospy (sp?) they can tell you what it died of.
