It may be one of those things but I would get another vet's opinion. A necropsy would have really told you everything you needed to know as now we can only speculate. If you have another to pass (I hope you don't) for sure get a necro done (and you store the body in the fridge, not the freezer and the faster the necro is preformed the better)
he did, and I declined.. like a dumbarsse.. he was really booked that day and probably had a lot on his plate, but still, I agree that he should of tried to help me more... but if he found nothing wrong, and I confirmed that they behaved and looked normal, then i supposed he assumed there was nothing more to do..... not thinking this could possibly be viral.... I just accussed Bread's unusual genetics for his death, especially since Butter shows no signs of sickness... she just wont eat, probably more to do with the stress of being to the vet and having her tank cleaned, her brother passing, and my frequent handlings to check her out..... I hope no one else passes, but if they do, I'll be wiser and get the necropsy done. Another dumb question, but, does that cost anything? Not that I'm concerned with money when we're talking about my snakes' health, but, I am curious..

and about snakes and strokes? what do they do/behave like? is it similar to how a human strokes out?
