Why did my snake die?

[Joshyboy]

That snake looks like it was healthy to me, not really skinny enough to die from starvation. I'm guessing it was just a random death. When breeding lots of animals a small percentage of them just die from random causes, heart problems, etc... I think it's just to be expected. If multiple snakes start dying or if you see them look skinny or discolored then you have a serious problem. Otherwise I wouldn't worry about it, just a sad part of nature.

That makes me feel better. I was worried I might have had something going around. Thanks for all the support. Last time I posted I got a lot of hate for not having money for a vet, and people saying I shouldn't have a pet if I don't have the money to take them to the vet. Still mourning the loss of my baby Spot. My parents offered to replace her but I don't think I can get another spotted any time soon. I was sobbing all last night, I feel like I failed as a pet parent. But I feel like she didn't have IBD. When I would hold her she would wiggle around and loose balance and I just considered that as part of her personality. She often missed when striking her food and had trouble killing her pinkies. If she did happen to have it would my other pythons be showing signs now if they had it as well? I did have mites when I first got them in April and May but Spot never showed any signs of them. Atm my balls don't show any signs and are eating well, active, and when I let them hang from their tails on my hand they pulled up no problem. I'm not sure of any other ways to test for IBD.
