I was unaware, it could have simply been genetics for all we know. I'm sorry I can't get a necropsy, I would if I had the money but I don't. It just sucks when I get backlash from people for basically saying I'm responsible for the death of my pet, that's a lot to put on a kid, let alone anyone.
I haven't seen those here do that to you. They were caring and compassionate. You were given the information but had already acted so we really couldn't do much for you.

It was also shared that part of having a snake is paying for a snake. That's just the truth. I have seen many people go get a snake and not fully understand the cost and care it can create. That is frustrating to other keepers. Im not saying that is what you did. Now the talk has turned to insurance and such but many times threads evolve into something different than they were started.
