Sick ball python

I hate to say this, but I expected as much. I'm SO sorry for your friend's loss though...I too hope she has a necropsy done, ESPECIALLY IF she plans on getting another?
Because IF this was something contagious, she surely wouldn't want to go thru this again. If she doesn't do a necropsy but wants another reptile, honestly she should
wait a year & thoroughly disinfect, & disinfect again, and then again. OK? Poor little snake...:( And she might want to be talking to whoever she got that snake from?

If the place she got the snake from is truly a reputable store, they will want & NEED to know this happened. Please consider the bigger picture on this. They most likely
don't breed their own snakes to sell, but buy them from others & just re-sell them. It's entirely possible they need to re-consider their sources.

Rest in Peace, sweet little royal...:tears:

Oh man, sorry to hear this. Rest in peace, lil snake...

Awww, i'm so sorry. Not what we all wanted to hear.

I'll convey everyone's sympathy.

She didn't buy the snake from a store, she bought from a local hobbiest who occasionally produces a clutch. I will be sure they are informed so they can keep and eye on their collection, just in case.
I suggested a necropsy as well, but I don't know that she will. They have a large family and that was their only pet snake.

It's a really sad situation. She (the snakes name was freya) had seemed to be doing well and was eating and growing normally. The issue, like with many reptiles, was very bad before she realized there was something wrong. She did try everything she could once she realized there was a problem. Sorry to see this outcome.
