Nope I don't mind. I feel these forums are here for open discussions.
When I was researching these to see if they were even feasible I was having a hard time finding any forsale or any that had already sold. They are a good bit harder to find than the axanthic coastals. The only price I could find was Paul Harris from Ukpythons. I think he had them listed at 600 pounds ($750). After I found out Eric was producing them I told my wife I was expecting this one to be roughly $800 but was budgeting to spend up to $1,200 if I needed to. I went through the process of getting on the waiting list, waiting for them to take meals and prove they were thriving, picked out the one I wanted, a bunch of emails back and forth discussing snakes, shipping dates and such. When the little guy was almost ready to get shipped out I realized we were missing part of the transaction. So one of my final emails had "btw I dont think we ever discussed cost and payment." When he told me the cost was $400 for that awesome looking little guy I was more than happy to send payment over right away.
Whats crazy is how much a double het axanthic granite is going for. I think a pair is currently around $1500 for non-visual morphs. The visuals of those are even more $$$ but really stellar looking.

Dang I'd say you did pretty good for $400. That Axanthic is to die for. I've been thinking about picking up a second noodle and just when I think I've made up my mind I see a post like this haha.

So sorry to hear. Good thoughts your way.

So being new here, what could've happened to such a young (and healthy looking) critter?

I had a necropsy done and it appears to have been kidney related.
