Angolan Pythons???

as for the split scales on Zina's belly.... maybe I'm way wrong but can't that sort of scale division be proof of inbreeding? not trying to step on toes at all! I just recently learned about the divided scale thing and I was curious if this could be an example.

I have no idea! I didn't even know that was a thing. They weren't just divided, but in one area they were also mishappen and puckerd looking. It wasn't just a clean line of divided scales.
I just figured it was cosmetic only and it didn't bother me.
I also can't be sure if her sudden death was related to that, but I can't imagine what else could have happened. There wasn't a single day she was even slightly off or odd acting.
Always ate, passed waste without issues. Was hydrated, beautiful and vibrant. Never acted strange either. Certainly no symptoms of disease.
Husbandry was always just right. No power outages, no issues with the heat or thermostat.
It was very odd and devastating.
There was a sibling for sale as well that didn't have that issue and they were the same size and looked almost the same aside from the so called birth defect.
