That death more then likely happened from bad husbandry ie too cold, over heat, bad shipping or disease of some sort. I looks to be a bit of blood there by the vent but I can't tell exactly what went on. I could understand if a live prey chewed through the snake fataly injuring it but I see no evidence of trauma. Beyond the bit of blood there. A snake that gets live prey even once won't die from it unless it's too large of a meal and ruptures something or impacts them and they die a month or two later of sepsis. Most snakes unless they are starving will turn away a huge meal or not be able to swallow it. And that can happen with frozen thawed as well so thats not just a live issue. That's knowing what size prey your snake should be on. Which in turn is a husbandry issue. Don't let this idiot tell you otherwise. Bring this forum to him. Let him get on and explain his reasoning. But to me it just looks like he wants to make $ off of people by selling them frozen. And thats a slimy thing to do. He's lying. I have over 40 ball pythons and every single one eats live and some have eaten live their whole lives.
He won't come !! He just want to be a Fake Pro in trifling HK forum.
