today i found Kerrella and Snowflake both passed away... my BRB and snow corn..
no idea what happened?!
both were eating fine, temps were perfect humidity were spot on and everything...
ugh, im torn up now, going to clean out their cages and use the big 4x2x2 for storage i guess, too heavy to carry down stairs :(
again, no idea what happened or why they passed...
Kerrella was just out exploring last night i almost got her out, but had to leave...
this is the 1st time loosing a snake for me, but this is 2 at a time :(

I am so sorry!!! It is horrible to lose one snake, but to lose 2 at the same time? Sending big hugs and comforting thoughts your way during this difficult time :(
This truly sucks man. I'm so so sorry for your loss.

Sorry for your loss..
I would be fairly concerned with why they passed. Keep a close eye on your other snakes and maybe get one or 2 of them off to a vet for testing to make sure something unseen isn't going to take out the rest of your snakes.. If everything was good( temps, humidity) then there is something going on that you are missing.

Sorry for your loss.
Had you noticed any behavior lately that was out of the ordinary for either one?

I'm terribly sorry to hear this.
I, too, believe it's not coincidence that both of them died at the same time. Have you been using any new products near them? Cleaning solutions? Had a fire going or a window open? What about leaving their feeders out too long?

nope nothing new... i use all the same exact thing, over and over.. ( little OCD )
liek i said, i will keep my eye out watch everything i do... i already cleaned everything with hot water with a little anti bacterial soap (hides,decor, snake hook, ect...)

all the other snakes seem just fine, i just had them all out, i was very careful to clean hands and everything i could in between handling. it is very possible it was just their time i suppose :(

I'm sorry :(
I would be crazily opening up mouths and checking for mucas or signs or RI or anything else i could think of.
Did you feed them last from the same batch of rodents? Not much we can do to help except throw around ideas for you to check out to help protect the others!

The snow corn was in a rack, and barb was in a 4x2x2 cage right next to the rack.... corn was in the tack for over a year, and barb was in customer cage for like 5 months.
I'm sadly think it might of been dehydration, or something with the heat.. that's what I get for usujng dumb *** rheostat. :(:(
Everyone else is doing good, checked everyone again this morning.
Sorry to hear this :sad: I just lost a baby female motley het amel caramel and lavender corn last Monday and a mexican black king just a few weeks before, so I know what your going through right now.

Supportive wives are amazing. My sincere condolences. Hopefully we can help figure out what caused these tragic losses.

i think it was dehydration. i thought i was providing plenty of water... but after thinking of it, it seems that could be 1 of the only reasons... as for the snow corn, she was acting weird for a while.. (not eating, not moving...she did shed but that was about all i noticed hre doing normal)..
it hurts, but im trying to put it past me and focus on my breeding plans.
