ok can some one possably explain this. my wife is a livejournal user and found this girls message. what I want to know is how a healthy snake as she says is going to drown its self when only inches away from a log? some thing about this just seems wierd to me.

"I'm horrified. This morning I had to clean the cage of my Blue Beauty, he was having a rough shed and had bits of shed mixed in with a recent defecation all over his cage, and he was particularly wriggly (still shedding) and active. I took him out and soaked him in the critter keeper, filled to the usual height of about four inches of warm treated water with a climbing branch on which to rest. Every other time I've soaked him, he has swum about and then relaxed and enjoyed the swim, and he soaks in his bowl often, so I thought nothing of it as I cleaned and reset his tank. After about 15 minutes I went to fetch him, and he was lying at the bottom, mouth wide open, dead. He drowned himself in four inches of water. I've never imagined or seen such a thing."
