I'm sorry you had to learn about the necropsy process first hand. I'm knocking on wood as we speak.

I know its been quite a while since this was posted but I thought that I would report how everything went. I ended up taking my bp to the animal hospital in the university in my city. They were incredibly nice and took my boy and did a necropsy on him free of charge because they were going to use him for a demonstration in class. They were excited to have him cause snakes aren't something they see often. They called me soon after the procedure and it turns out that the mouse he had eaten wasn't the problem, in fact it had almost been completely digested. The huge bump turned out to be his enlarged heart. I was very sad to hear this but happy to know that his death wasn't anything that was care related.

Thanks for the help and support guys.

I'm so sorry for your loss, but I'm glad you found out the cause, and shared.

Thank you for sharing the results, and I'm so, so sorry for your loss. That was nice of the university to do it free of charge and cool that they will be using him for demonstrations/learning environment, imo. Like donating his body to science.

The enlarged heart is just something congenital, I'm assuming?

Oh lord how sad. I'm so sorry.
