Snake dead!!

rep-keeper Aug 04, 2004 04:19 PM

hi everyone...
I had a rough green snake that just died yesterday ...
When i found it dead in the cage there was a cricket half in its mouth. Also about 4 inches upwards from the buthole, the skin has turned blue... he was perfectly healthy yesterday though.
Can anyone PLEASE tell me what you think happened?
Thank you VERY much and i would VERY MUCH appreciate a reply.
Thanks
E

Rough green snakes will often turn blue after death. I found a DOR one and couldn't ID it until someone confirmed this fact for me.
