Yes and I made some mistakes in husbandry was my vote. back in the day befoer highspeed was consider public. I had a pair I adopted the one out ( not heard from them in a long time) and kept the other I had had both for about 2 years with no problems.then one day just up and died. I think not it might of been cause I had kept it in the wrong set up a cedar built cage ( my grandfather had built with scarp wood at the time and a open cage front( wire mesh) and I kept the snake on pine shaving. this was even befoer I had a pc that was internet capable.( around the time 486 dx33 were coming out in school)

I had put it death off to being lonely at the tiem sincei had gotten rid of it cage mate.back then I had 4 snakes the 2 bps both rescued from some guy that was moving after his place caught fire didn't even care the snakes were still alive when I was helping him pack up some unburnt items for him to move and I seen the snakes moving. I asked him what abotu them and he just shrugged and said to take them if i wanted them. no ideal of their age or caree I was keeping them like I did my black rat and the corn since i didn't know better at the time. Man since then it make me feel liek I was a moron of a 15 year old. The funny thing was ther was never a RI or signs of it. just a snake that would eat and prefered to lay on my lap when i took it out nowI know why cause I was warm. The following summer I got access to reptile books ( local libary had stuff and allowed me to look and read any of the text docs they had access too.) man I spent more time ther than I did in the woods that year.
