found my female bp dead this morning

[Tye Hicks]

Hello friends, last night my baby bp regurged her mouse she ate on Thursday and this morning she was dead. Any ideas? Her temps were 95 on the warm end and 86 on the cool side. Box was clean she was is good health, well so i thought. Any thoughts will be appreciated.

How long did you have her?

What were you measuring temps with? Where were you measuring temps?

What was her eating history with you? Had she been exhibiting any restless behavior or any other odd behavior recently?

Off the top of my head, 86 is hotter than I would maintain a cool side temp for a ball python. What was the ambient temp?

Your temps are about five degrees too high on both ends...but that in and of itself shouldn't cause such a severe issue, I don't think. We'd need to have a LOT more information if you wanted us to make any guesses about what might have happened.

How old was the baby?
How long have you had it?
Who did you get it from?
Has it eaten for you before?
What else can you tell us about its enclosure?
-- Substrate
-- Heating source
-- Humidity levels
-- Type of enclosure
-- How you're measuring temps and humidity

The more information you can give us, the better chance we would have at giving educated guesses.

I'm sorry for your loss

Even if it was husbrandry related, I would look into getting a necropsy done (especially if you have more snakes in your collection) but that's what I would do. It may find something, maybe she wasn't internally "right"?

I have no idea why she passed away but I'm terribly sorry for your loss.

She swas hatched in June and i got her in October. She ate every week. She did refuse a meal once. The hummidity was at 50 percent. I check temps with a duratrax digita temp gun i use for my rc trucks. I had her in a 4 qt tub shoe box size i belive in a rack that has 3 inch heat tape. Amdient room temps stay about 83 degrees. She was on coco tec kept moist but not wet.
I have thermoter that gives me temps and humidity.
I bought her from a local pet store that is now out of business. But she was healthy when i got her and was in good health until last night. I had seen her drink several time after eating.

Where do you get your feeders? My boyfriend had a BP for a few years when he was younger that took a rat he offered very reluctantly (she normally had a good feeding response, just didn't seem to like the one he got for her that day). After she finally ate it, he found her the next morning with it regurged and his snake dead. The feeder was from his local petco/petsmart and he figures it was something in the rat
