2 of 3 Corn Snakes died, please help.... :-(
Hi,
My brother had 3 corn snakes. 2 of which died today. One was 8 years old and one was 8months old. The other corn snake remaining is 8months too, Purchased at the same time as the other from babies. He has had corn snakes for a long time and has the set up just right for them. The 2 younger corn snakes shared the same Viv, whereas the 8yr old one was alone. They hadnt eaten for about 2-3weeks and would not take food. No sign of illness with the snakes accept the one alive is tensing up and opening mouth wide. This sounds like a respiratory problem but how can all 3 snakes get this and become critically ill together, especially as the 8yr old snake died as well. Temperature is good on both vivs. The two snakes that died were not curled up, almost as if they were moving for something and just died whilst out straight. It sounds like suffocation or something from a possinle respiratory problem, but can anyone shed any light to the cause of this please? especially as all 3 at the same time. The last remaining snake is very very ill and unsure if he will survive the night. Somebody please help
Much appreaciated xx
