I have had a sudden die off of 70% of my animals, I mean they just died, no new animals involved, no travel and always using hand cleaner etc, they were all eating, I lost an albolabris, an eyelash and others, NO CLUE what happened, I isolated everyone as best I could but still had them die, have sent the bodies to a lab for necropsy, but..... they all looked normal when I found them i.e. coiled, no sign of convulsions or other issues, no regurging, no bleeding no nothing and no clues. I am at a loss I have had snakes for 30 years and NEVER have I seen this, if anyone has a clue to whee I should look, pleae feel free to tell me..thanks very much Kurt

What was the temperature of the room you were keeping them in? was there a sudden change in room or cage temp? Just something to look into.

Kurt-
That's a very frightening senario you describe. I'm sure you've gone over your protocals a thousand times. I can only imagine how sickened you feel losing your animals and helpless to do anything about it. I hope the lab work will give you some answers. Hang in there.

Bill
