Ok, so last night I had Santiago, my boa, out. he was doing his boa thing, didn't seem like he was having any problems. He'd just shed, except for a patch under his chin. He ate friday, no problems. He was in a temp tub, kept at about 89 - 93 degrees and it was, according to the gage at around 40% humidity. We were having trouble with the table his permanent tank was on which is why he was in the tub.
This morning I was planning on soaking him a bit to help get the stuck skin and he was cold to the touch. The tank was warm. I put him on the heating blanket thinking that that could warm him up before we realized that he was just gone. I know without a necropsy(sp?) we won't know for sure. The kids are offering all sorts of suggestions. The holes of the tube weren't covered up, it was warm, I'd just cleaned it out friday shortly before feeding him. didn't use any chemicals on it. just hot water.
I'm wracking my brains trying to figure out if I did something wrong. I do plan on taking him to a specialist and have them do a necropsy to find out what happened, I'm trying not to come unglued.
