    Jack these sudden things happen, trust me I know first hand.

    The snakes were all primo top notch stock, they just expired.

    We can speculate food this, parasite that but in the end, without opening up the snake for a complete analysis, no one can really tell.

    Yeah one of my baby easterns just passed. they were all fine, and I noticed at feeding time this one Little guy was acting lethargic, he only ate half a small worm, ignored his fish, and was gone in the morning.

    All we can do is cope and keep on going.

    Thanks, Wayne!
    I just wish we could somehow identify what causes their deaths and could it have been prevented?
    I am trying to nurse my adult female Butler out of a losing battle with a respitory infection. After $160+ spent at the Herp Vet, she's continues to wheeze constantly....
    Frustrating...
