Unfortunately on Friday morning I found my little guy Casper motionless in his cage.


He hasn't been eating since July last year, I offered him a rat every week but he just kept refusing. I tried offering him rats/mice/chicks but he wasn't interested.


He has also been struggling with mites since I got him, I tried mite off and it did work but he just kept getting them back.
I was also busy most of the time so I did miss a few treatments.
I just thought mites weren't as bad as I imagined, but I have proven myself 1000x wrong and i'm gutted my Casper had to go through all that pain because of my stupid mistake.

I've definitely learned from this awful incident

I'm going to make sure that none of my snakes ever get mites. I'm going to order two cans of Callingtons mite spray so I don't have to wait longer than the snakes need to if they ever get mites, spray their cage monthly/every 2 months so they don't have the chance to get them.


I just wished that I hadn't been so stupid.



I really don't know what caused the dead tbh, would the mites have made him anaemic or caused him to lose a lot of blood?? Plus having no food, he would of been very week you would have thought? But he was exploring his cage most nights even up to his death. I would of thought he would of been very weak and never active, but that wasn't the case.



This is a picture just after I found him, he had some sort of indent/groove in his neck and I have no idea what it is or what caused it:
