I had this girl for 8 years. I went to feed her and she couldn't breath well, she had blood comming out of her mouth. I was leaving for work. I was going to take her to the vet, when I got home, but sadly she had died, by the time I got back. I took her for an autopsy and the vet said her lung was damaged and that it looked like she was hit or bumped hard, strangely non of her ribs were broken. There was no way this could have happend she was in a safe secure inclosure, and I handle my snakes with care.
One thing I am happy about is it wasn't a disease.
Sad day.
Here's a pic when she was in her prime.

it's tough losing an animal, especially one that you've had for so long.
