Hey richard read my post again! I'm simply replying to jared's post about some snakes he had in his post! I agree that smalm's snake could have died from the temps being to low, but it would have had to been low long term though. It could have been a number of things for that matter. The only parasite that i have seen take a snake out very quick is protozoa, nematodes and cestodes are usually not lethal in a healthy snake.
