What just happened...
Monday afternoon I went to the local mom and pop pet store and picked up 2 pair of rat pinkies for my corns. I do this every couple of Mondays (when my micro breeding colony is not churning out rodents) and I feed both of my corns one to two each depending on what they take down. Neither took a second pinky, which is not uncommon so I put the other two down then tossed them in the freezer.
This morning both corns are dead.
Both corns are kept in separate tanks, both have identical heating, both are around 6 months old. Each one lives on a different floor of my house and I have Germ-X in damn near every room and use it.
The pinks were only 2 days old at most and that is the only new thing I introduced to the corn snakes in the past 3 months. Both had seemed to almost have completely digested the pinkies and could pass for being wholey alive under normal inspection.
I really have no idea what I did wrong. I am trying hard to impeach my own husbandry, but all my other herps are doing awesome. This is sucky and it aggravates me to no end.
