I'm certainly no bet, but:

They found the snake had a shrunken liver, lack of internal fat stores and and some discolouration around the gal bladder.

sounds to me like malnutrition, especially the lack of internal fat storages.

Peter, was this the same snake that you were having difficulties getting feeding, by chance? I know you had one that was very reluctant to feed for you.

Congrats on the negative IBD test!

When this all started he said it was the non feeders from the captive hatched he got that were having problems. It was mentioned that it was possibly due to that... not good news that it died for malnutrion, but certainly better than IBD!

The final diagnosis was emaciation.

Hey I want to thank you and commend you on how you handled this. You went through with the full necropsy, you quarantined your incoming spider at someone else's house just in case, and you kept us all informed so we can learn with you.

Sorry once again for your loss, but you did everything right and hopefully will have great successes in the future!
