We lost 3 of the rescued snakes today (all 3 were morph females). All were babies, just had them to the vet last Monday and all were said to be doing good. The 3 had only eaten twice in the 4 weeks I had them.
2 others (normal boys) in my opinion are on the fence but the Vet says they are fine.
All of my rodents are produced from the same guy and i have been getting them from him for over a year.
All the snakes evacuated their stomach contents from the Friday feeding (not sure out which end) the fuzzies seemed to be completely undigested, and all the snakes were/are deep in shed.
Checked the rack over and every other snake is fine, temps are spot on (hot spot 90 inside the tub base, stat at 93, ambient between 79-81).
Dehumidifier is set at 55%, and meter shows 57% consistently at the rack.
Not sure what went wrong. They all seemed to be doing so well. Even when I changed water on the rack last night all were active, tongues flicking etc.
Hope the other 2 pull out of it. Again the vet says they are fine.
Any thoughts or advice would be welcome.
I rescued them to give them a better life and feel that I failed them.
