the case in the picture was mouth rot (stomatitis),which had spread through the blood stream...

i've not done much research on scepticemia in snakes,but i'm thinking all infections left untreated,will eventually enter the bloodstream,causing scepticemia

^^^^^
feel free to correct me if i'm wrong folks,as its an educated guess
