If any of you don't follow Brian on twitter, his big, yellow noodle "Sunshine" passed away, seemingly for no reason. This event brought up several questions. Ones I felt would be inappropriate to direct to him at this time...

What could cause such a sudden and unexplained death in a python?

What signs in a snake show they are getting old?

Can snakes get all types of cancer? Or certain types?

Are there other diseases snakes can get other than IBD?
