URGENT! death caused by internal something!!!!!

Since snakes are not designed to vomit, and from what I understand a regurge is very hard on them, I wonder if it is possible she ruptured something internally when she regurged and that caused her death ?

I don't have any experience with this in a snake, but I bred birds for 20 years, and every so often a baby would receive an injury to the crop { stomach } which would allow bacteria from the stomach to build up around the crop and in the throat, which was always marked by severe swelling and a foul odor. If not treated aggressively and immediately, this was nearly always fatal.

I'm no vet, but their are similarities that raise my eyebrows.

Please let us know what your vet says.

Well after 4 hours or so at 80-90 degrees, the dead body will not be able to give an accurate result of the Necropsy, do to the high heat. If you said it smelled pretty bad of death, then i would have reason to believe you might get an inaccurate result. By all means try and get one done, but usually most people don't discover the body untill the next day or so and you can always get false readings that way.

sorry for your loss.. i hope you find out what is the cause.. :please:
