I lost my snake this morning and am not happy at all...we only had her for a couple months and am not sure why she died. I will givve a run down of the last couple months and if anyone could give me some kind of idea of why she died I would appreciate it...I only wish I ahd found this site 2 months ago...
We rescued her back in January and the people who ahd her sdaid she had just eaten a rat that week. She never ate for us. We let her alone for a couple weeks to let her get acclimated. then she starts to shed...I think she was a dehydrated as she didnt shed in one peice and looked dried so we soaked her and that seemd to help. We just did another soak and layed her on the bed and was rubbing he very softly to get the old skin off...she seemd happy enough from the bath. Then yesterday she was out of her hide in the day...basking a little in the sun. Last night when I went to be she was out in the tank with her latter 1/2 in the water...same thing this morning but only her tail. She was alive at 5:30 but I think she died not long after. I had to leave for work and told my husband there was something up and he said she was gone at 7:30. She had a heater in her hide and a hot rock. I think she was to cold...I don't know she had everything she has always had...I did what the last person did. I don't understand how why she died. Everything I read said not feeding was ok, no one mentioned humidity and we were keeping her misted...I don;t know can someone help me? I am really sad....thanks, Christa
