Dead Coastal

[Mossman1963]

Hi Everyone Q: I took my young coastal python from its tank to outside to enjoy the nice sunny weather. It was climbing around in a small silver birch tree then onto the grass all good, I went inside to get my phone to video it when I came back out it was lying with its head up mouth wide open Dead. I'm stunned, what just happened?

The most likely scenario is an outdoor cat had a fun time. My advice for the future is to never leave your snake alone. How old was your snake as well? How was its health?

Either cat or bird...weren't there any marks on the snake to indicate trauma of some sort, like to the head? Damaged scales?
