So I received an imported lot of ball pythons from ghana a couple months ago. Some took right to eating, and where sold as pets and haven't had any issues. A few of them would not eat, and where force fed for awhile, until the last 2 weeks, where 2 of them would readily accept food items.

Today I went to get some food for the 2 eaters. Both received a small hopper which they ate without issue (they won't take much larger). Both snakes where extremely active, alert, no issues. I sold one of the females to a fellow breeder. 4 hours later, snake turns up dead. Snake had passed fecals, and had been treated for internal parasites before I received her. She had no issues up until late tonight.

Any ideas from some more experienced guys what might have possibly happened? I'm guessing she either picked up something from the mice from the shop, or the ride home was too stressful. Thanks for any advice.
