I don't know if there are parasites that can kill a snake that fast, which the mice could have had? Could the mice have still been alive when he swallowed them and they caused internal injuries? I've never heard of that happening, but maybe some of these other guys have...
My first and only thought so far is that it had to have something to do with the mice, meaning they either had some sort of parasite or infection that was not killed by Maurice's digestion process...although they didn't really look very digested. Also, he's a bit of a slow eater, so if the mouse was still alive I think we'd have noticed, but maybe not.

Either way, thank you ALL for your kind words and support, I really appreciate.
