Garter is having seizures, help/advice needed!

Sorry for your loss

Thank you everyone for your concern and input, but several hours after my last post my little baby flame died.

Cause of death was dehydration and ultimately me. My improper husbandry with this particular guy led to his death. I had him in quarantine in a RUB with too much humidity.

Lesson learned. And it will never happen again.

I highly doubt it on both counts. That is, that it will never happen again, and that you were the cause. I still highly doubt that it a thiaminase issue. Lots of things can cause neurological symptoms, particularly when the snake is about to die.

There is no lesson to be learned here other than the fact that **** happens sometimes no matter how good your husbandry is. Unless you give up on keeping garters, it will happen again or something similar. Trust me. The second lesson is, the cause is usually never known. Any guesses or attempt to guess as to the cause will only lead you to frustration and self-blaming so without a conclusive necropsy, don't even try to guess.
