    Did you recently use any chemicals/cleaners in or near her cage?

    No I had only sterilized the tubs about 3 weeks before i recieved them. i hosed them down with water outside before putting them in the rack too.

    I remember seeing you post a day or so ago about your new BPs, and that they looked skinny and tiny for supposed "5 month old" snakes (as the breeder said they were). Seeing as one passed within the week of you getting it, I would assume that they WERE 5 months old, but they might have not have eaten properly and, being so tiny, just couldn't survive the stress of being shipped/being in a new environment.

    That's my speculation.

    This is horrible. You mind posting up who sold them to you? You can PM me as well if you like. I hate seeing things like this happen... and sorry if I missed it but can you tell us exactly how you were keeping them, the temps and humidity?

    Agree, make sure to keep a close eye on the others regardless of whether you get a necropsy. And definitely contact the breeder.
