Please get a necropsy done.
It sounds like signs of IBD.

I was reading this with my hubby and we both would like to say so so sorry to you. I cannot imagine how you are feeling!

Another vote for necropsy submission, and tell the pet store what's going on. If it's IBD (which is high on the differential list) they need to alert the source of the animal(s), and probably would be best to depopulate current snakes, as depressing as that is. Since you're in Philly, contact UPenn about a necropsy. While I hear their exotics department is being whittled down to nothing, they should still have competent pathologists on board. The necropsy needs to be done ASAP, and don't freeze as was previously mentioned.
