Thank you, I didn't know about the bruising being part of them dying...haven't had a dead snake in a very long time....
Unfortunately without a necropsy you can't rule out a disease or parasite that could potentially affect the rest of your collection if you have other snakes. As a breeder/seller I'd also want to know if a snake that I produced and subsequently sold passed away a month later, and why, so I could deal with any potential problems with my collection.
