Sad day

Well my beautiful Spider girl who laid me a nice clutch a while ago just died suddenly not sure why everything husbandry related was spot on perfect. She was 4 years old over 1500 grams when I breed her was in great health all breeding season no issues ate well before breeding laid the eggs was fine no issues no eggs stuck in her and today after work came to see all my snakes and she was upside down dead with blood coming out her mouth :'(

Sorry to hear that. When was the last time she ate?

She didn't eat and just had laid eggs but the only weight that was lost was that of the eggs I made sure she didn't have any issues through the breeding season as she was a virgin breeder but was going to offer her food this week since she was getting back to routine then BAM she was dead

I'm sorry to hear about your girl.

Will you be getting a necropsy to see exactly what happened?

Oh goodness, I am so sorry for your loss. A necropsy may be a good idea in this case, to determine a cause of death that took her that way.

Sorry to hear that bro.

So sorry, it's bad enough when it's old age... but sudden... it's the worst.

Breeding and egg laying puts allot of stress on these animals bodies. Even in perfect condition somtimes the strain on their facilitys can be do much. I've had this happen to me once before, have an animal lay eggs and come back the next day to her dead. Take heart in the fact that if she was healthy, and properly cared for that there was nothing to prevent it or that you could have done to stop it.

I just lost my lemon pastel female last week whose babies hatched last week. No signs of anything wrong with her prior to her passing.
