In the last week i have lost 2 of my females. one was skinny and not eating and the other was fat and usually a good eater but didnt eat last time. both were females. one was breeding age and had been breeding and the other one wasnt. both were in a rack. the other snakes in the rack are all males and are all fine. the older one ive had for over 10 years and she wasnt a baby when i got her, she was at least a year or more. i was told she was 6 months old but she was well over that. so i could probably account her to old age. Im so confused and hurt. the older one was my first snake. any ideas what this could be?

I am unaware of any diseases that are truly sex-linked, however there are certain reproductive disorders that are obviously linked to female physiology.
