My baby ball python died.... anybody know why?

...Remember that our internal temp is 90ish degrees, so anything warm for us is REALLY warm to them, for proper lukewarm water for snakes you actually want it to be room temp to the touch or slightly cool. Maybe how a pool feels or a tab bit warmer...

Just wanted to add, human body temperature is actually closer to 100*...our "normal" is 98.6*, so yes, what feels warm to us will be way too hot for our snakes. It's a very easy (& common) mistake that owners make.
