My snake just died, help...

[Nabbig2]

Oh man....I just went up to check on my baby corn snake, to see that he has died...I can't believe it, he seemed fine.

His eyes have been sucked in, and there is a a bubble coming out of his mouth, perhaps water? Please help, I don't know what has happened...

You could get it autopsied? Sorry about your corn.

 

[evilxyardxgnome]

Odd did it choke on its last meal maybe?

 

[Bogwoodbruce]

Sprry bud but im clueless about how it died.

so sorry pal..sorry 4 ur lost..maybe autopsy is good idea..

A bubble coming out of his mouth? Could have been a URI (upper respiratory infection). A URI untreated will kill a snake very quickly.

Not trying to pry or anything, and I haven't been following your experience with this snake, so I don't knwo anything....what was your set-up like? temps? feeding regiment? etc How long have yuou had him

It always sucks when an animal dies by seemingly unknown causes. It couldv'e very well been nothing you did. Sometimes they just weren't meant to survive.

sorry for your loss.

The reason animals have so many babies is because so few are going to survive into adulthood. Mostly it's due to predation, but sometimes there's a genetic abnormality and no matter how perfect your setup is, the animal is still going to die.

I don't know your setup; I'm just saying that it's possible it had nothing to do with you.
