    Rosies suddenly dying?
    I am wondering if anybody else has had this experience with their rosy Boas. Over the last 6 to 12 months I have lost a few. They seem to be doing fine and then one day suddenly become ill and then die within a couple of days. I have one right now that was fine yesterday when I was cleaning tubs and all that. But when I went and checked on them this evening she is curled up in a tight position and I am pretty sure she is going to die. She has regurged her food a couple days ago but other than that had appeared completely normal. Had eaten with gusto. I had use some baby wipes yesterday to wipe out their tubs but that is the only thing out of the norm that I have done. I don't think baby wipes are the problem but I never know. I thought they were unscented but they turned out to be scented baby wipes. If anybody has had any experience like this please let me know. I will be trying to find a vet who can do an autopsy tomorrow. Thanks in advance

    I don't think anyone can say on here. Best bet is get a necropsy done ASAP. It sounds like it could be contagious since you've lost multiple animals.

    I have no ideas on why your rosies are dying, but if you're planning on having a necropsy done make sure you put the body in the refrigerator and not the freezer.

    I hope the vet can find answers for you.

    I agree with the posts above. Keep us updated though as to what the vet says.
