Why did he die after having him 6 months

do you feed frozen/thawed? if the prey wasn't all the way thawed it could have rotted in its stomach.

Ive heard some BP's could be born with a internal disease or disorder that you would nvr even kno about up til the day they just die on you even tho your doing everything rite for them. So maybe this was the fault of mine.

I have never heard of an established Ball Python dieing from stress..in three weeks.

I have a thought what were you feeding him.. Live P/K or F/T???

Can you please answer the questions that have already been asked...what were your temps, hot/cold side and ambient, humidity levels, etc. A picture of his enclosure would be helpful too. We are trying to help you but you have to answer our questions and not make excuses.

And he looked to have the razor back also so i took him out to take a look a noticed he was blowded in the belly and very weak. But thats when he died in my hands! So i guess im wondering what happen in shed?

i didnt say he died from stress, just that a factor of his sickness and and its advancement to death was not helped by the stress.

I do not change my snakes water every day. At most I change twice a week, and at least once each week. Do you think that large breeders change their snakes water each day?

no but they also take a little more proper care. and let me rephrase that. every day may be overkill, a few times a week is good but 2 weeks that water is going to be pretty stale and if there is anything in it, it would be pretty polluted as well.

I agree.

Please post pictures of the enclosure, how your giving them heat. hot and cool side temps and humidity and ambient air temps. then we ca atleast give you a educated guess on what the downfall was.
