Final necropsy on dead noodles
Just got the final necropsy report, as well as a fecal float that was done on the 4 dead snakes I had bought from those people. Turns out they each had 4 different strands of rare salmonella that they can only get from the food they eat. Seeing how none of our snakes prior to buying these have had any issues I can finally rule out it being my fault or my rat suppliers fault. Also the Pied that died had not eaten with us. So final conclusion is we were sold really sick snakes and it was due to no fault of my own that they died. That is a relief as I started questioning myself on how I was taking care of my noodles.

Yeah for sure, it wasn't a cheap venture, 200 per snake for necropsy and 100 per for vet visit

Good job for getting the necropsies and that you got closure on their deaths. Poor things never had a chance but at least their last days were spent getting decent care.
Yeah, each one had 4 rare strands of salmonella, what are the chances ? Honestly.

It they each had 4 strands of the same rare salmonella, I suspect the seller either has had, or will have, other sick or dead snakes. Too bad you couldn't talk to others who have purchased from him in the last month or two. :-( So sad that there are people out there who choose to treat other people (and snakes) so badly. I'm so sorry you had this experience.
