Re: Unexpected death: RIP Vera (necropsy?)

I don't really understand what this means.

so far, i have no answer to why my snake passed, just possibilities... and i don't even know if was perhaps developmental at this point.... i am paranoid that it's viral, and that perhaps my girl contracted it, but, there isn't any signs of respritory infection (nose is clear, mouth looks normal, no raspy breathing, no blotchy red stomach, and her hisses sound loud and healthy like usual) no signs of Septicemia/intestinal infection.
BUT, I caught her with her mouth open on two seperate occasions, maybe i just witnessed yawns. With the sudden death of Bread, and no signs of any illness days prior to his death, im starting to think it was just something unique with him on the inside.... i'm keeping a constant eye on Butter, and the other snakes, but, the similarity to Vera's symptoms and Bread's are spooky. So i'm not ruling out anything just yet.
She is sexually mature, and so was he, and one week i skipped feeding (I was on vacation) and the next week Butter ate, but he didnt... and then the week after that, neither of them ate, so i just thought that it was breeding time.... then he died... but she seems ok, even the vet said so.... so idk whats going on anymore... im losing it.
I think you may need to see a different vet. Your vet doesn't seem to be able to offer you any insight: has he offered to run any tests or speak with a fellow reptile specialist as to what you guys can do? And no, I don't believe you got them sick. It could have been "one of those things" about the one that passed (like Vera) or it could potentially be more serious (ie a disease or contagious illness). Have you gotten any new snakes lately?
