So sorry for your loss. I am not positive about the heart but I had a kingsnake die from an enlarged organ I took it to a vet for a necropsy. I think it wasan enlarged liver I could be wrong. But the vet told me that a virus caused the enlarged organ and virus's can cause other enlarged organs. Not to alarm you cuz it very well may not be that at all but just to be safe for a while try to take precaution of "spreading" it around if that's what it possibly is than it could end in disaster if you aren't careful. I could be and hope I am totally wrong and probably am. I just wanted to let you know of what happened to my kingsnake so you can be careful.
