Lost one of my Kenyan Sand Boas

:cry: Hey everybody,
Well, I really do not know what happened...I was feeding my two Kenyan Sand Boas and it appears as though one of them seemingly choked to death on its pinky mouse. Both snakes took their prey and I left them to finish off their business and when I came back about an hour later to check on them my male Kenyan was dead with the pinky half in and half out of its mouth. I am realizing that there are times when you lose an animal and that it cannot be avoided but it still bums me out all the same I don't understand what happened here.

At least I still have my female Kenyan and she appears to be fine but I think I will carefully watch ALL my snakes now to make sure that the swallowing process is proceeding normally when I feed them.Live and learn I suppose... :roll:

I know the feeling it really sucks. We just lost a baby ball on Sunday. It was really a downer because I found her on the way out the door to the FIRE show in orlando.
