I gave her about a week to settle down in a terrestrial enclosure before feeding her again so this way, she could get warm on the ground instead of having to climb up on a full stomach. Turns out, even using the warm hide on the ground she still regurgitated. It was too late, she died only minutes after throwing up the half-digested rat.

EDIT: are there other viruses that cause these symptoms?

I thought you said you took all your reptiles to the vet for a once over check up to ensure everything's okay?

You'd have to relate other symptoms since the one's right before death can be from a multitude of things. It's not a totally uncommon behaviour when an animal dies.

If you read what I said, I said I was going to take her to the vet, I just waited to see if it was something beyond thermoregulation.

And I don't think I ever typed in this forum that I took all my reptiles to the vet for a once over check up. If you can find where I said this I'd like to see.
