hello to all, im searching for help so hopefully someone on here can help. my poor garter snake died this morning and i'd like to know the possible cause as i feel terrible. She had not eaten for 4 weeks but this wasnt uncommon for her around winter, she was still active untill last night when she was very still. i took out and gave her a bath2 raise her body temp but soon as she was back in the tank she didnt move all night and even turned upside down. she had not shed very well this time and i had tried to help that over the last 2 weeks.only last night did her upper body seem swollen and possibly her anus a little.im heart broken as i booked her in my vets but she died before i could get her there. she was 13 yrs old so had a good life but i'd love some answers to stop me blaming myself. thanks guys
