Re: Disease?
If you can get the snake to a vet for a necropsy within about 48 hours, the fridge is the best place for it. If it is going to be longer than that, definitely freeze it. Freezing does cause some cell damage but plenty of good information can still come from a frozen necropsy. Make sure you tell your vet that the snake was frozen briefly, as a small snake like that will freeze quickly.
Snake livers do not burst after death. The green spot on the belly if from digestive enzymes which leak out of the gall bladder and pancreas after death, and begin to "digest" the tissues. This is normal from any cause of death.
