    Remember an animal that does not eat will not poop now I can't see the pic because it was moved of deleted so it's hard to recommend anything on that. My guess she was either bloated because of gas or blockage due to urate, it is possible that the animal was dehydrated too which can cause this does not mean it is what killed her.

    I think there were a combination of things and that animal should not have been sold that small.

    If the animal was a strong feeder it should have been bigger than 68 grams at 2 months, it it hatched smaller than the average it should have been kept a little bit longer.

    I assumed she had eaten before I got her, why I thought she might be constipated. And the comments here and from friends made me a lot less concerned about it.
    The first post pretty much explains my train of thought on her condition when I bougt her. Hopefully I can come to an understanding with the seller and he with the breeder.

    Update for the new year!

    Hime was most likely born with smaller and weaker muscles plus she had some liquid around her heart. I'm happy it was not anyones mistake, but still very sad that I got her when she was almost certainly doomed to die.... At least now I'm sure the breeder is a good one even if his methods are not perfect. The bacterial exams were topnotch and absolutely nothing wrong there.

    Hopefully the breeder will accept to let me get another one, I'm happy to have gotten the exams, but still a lot of money spent for 2 weeks of life :#

    Hey guys! For anyone following this thread; I fibally got "compensation" for the loss of Otohime. Cost me a new snake, but at least it is close to what I wanted :)
