Your temps could of sped up whtat ever was wrong with him. Too hot can cause stress which is a bad thing when you have a sick snake.

Rats,Corns,Kings i always keep 82-84F warm side max Cool sides can be 72-77 no problems.

The coxi was on a seperate set up. The temps on the bottom of his substrate never went over 83. His temps were always in the range for that species.He did have a cool side of 68-72, which I read was fine for asian rats and which the breeder said was good.


His Hot spot was on the same thermostat as my BP's cool spot.


And her hot spot was hers alone not his.

Edit: I check the bottom of the cage and the top of the substrate with my temp gun 3 times a day usually.

You called PE as soon as you discovered the gaping mouth - correct? I mean he started showing signs of distress the evening you got him.............

Even with refrigerating the corpse, you are pushing the time window to get an accurate necropsy if you don't pull the trigger Monday.

Let us know how this is resolved..........

Yes I called them first thing the next morning to let them know. Which was thursday morning the morning after I got Him. I think I emailed them wednesday night about it but there office was closed.


I want to get a necropsy done but money is an issue here. So many unforseen things got thrown on my shoulder last month.


I'll make sure to keep everyone updated. I hope they give me a refund.
