Re: Strange hatchling deaths ( disturbing pics )
Did any of them get the prey down? Did they die with the prey stuck in their mouth/throat? Maybe I'm totally out in left field but the prey looks pretty large for those guys. Especially as a first meal, or at least first several meals.

No they never even uncoiled they just died constricting them.... The crawlers did not put up much of a fight at all... They did not even have their eyes open yet. The pic is a bit deceiving, they look a lot bigger than they are, not sure if its that the snake is all balled up making them look larger or if the cell pics are doing it but I really don't think that was it... These 2 both died before ever even attempting to swallow .

I vote necropsy too. If just one had died like that it would be pretty odd. But having 2 die like that....that seems extremely strange to me.
I also thought that the prey looked big but I don't think that's what killed them. Unless it is a heart issue and the strain of constricting did it.
It's just so weird, like one moment they're fine, and then they die suddenly.

Re: Strange hatchling deaths ( disturbing pics )
prey looks a lil big but not excessively so... were u able to see what position the trach tubes wer in? either that or the heart defect theory previously stated are what I would guess. sorry for your loss

Any resolution on this?
I feel like maybe they had genetic/incubation related heart issues and the feeding was the first exertion great enough to make it problematic. That's a total spitball, though...

Does that snake have a kink? Not sure if it's my monitor or what but that bend looks a little weird in the 3rd and 4th pic...

I had this happen to fully grown adult male that has never even so much as has a bad shed..My guess is a stroke or heart condition. I've seen this with babies that take longer to get started but never more than one a season. It's seems that they exert so much energy killing the rat that it takes everything they have and they die
