No necropsy done - far too expensive for me right now, especially since the breeder has made a formal effort to reimburse most of my cost.

And yes, he came to me from north FL and I'm in south FL. He arrived warm, just wheezing and had the bubbles/mucus in his mouth.

Still kind of sucks, it's always the sick ones you grow closer too. He was my only snake with a name right now. I called him Bubbles.
