Since you're asking the same question as before, I assume you're wondering if it was in any way something you did or didn't do that caused him to die, OR if he
came to you already ill, so I'll just add that if you can rule out things like over-heating ("unregulated heat source") being dropped or mishandled, it's more likely
that he was already ill when you got him (as I recall you didn't have him for very long?).
That being the case, if that was me, I would NOT get another snake for at least a year & not from the same place, as I would assume he may have had a serious
and contagious disease for which a LONG quarantine is needed to prevent a repeat of this sad scene for the next snake...do you understand?
Meanwhile I'd be doing everything I could to completely disinfect everything he was near or came in contact with, to hopefully "quarantine" and remove any germs
left to avoid exposing any new pet you may get in the future from the same thing & the same fate. OK? His cage especially should either be disposed of, or
disinfected multiple times with various products ***used separately, one at a time with thorough rinsing between them*** (ammonia, bleach, F10, chlorhexidine-
Nolvasan, isopropyl alchohol.)
Sorry, it's not fun, but you asked.Spreading the same nasty disease to another pet is best prevented. OK?
