I did a ton of research. Temp and humidity were/are perfect. I read up on everything (used to post here ages ago but lost all my old info)...over time I just began to neglect them I guess. Took it for granted that they were just fine. I should have fed them seperately like I used to though for sure and probably more often. Also I should have tracked their weight.
I believe 100% they were "happier" together. Big guy was alone for about 8 months then i got the little one. It sounds strange but as soon as they were together (which was for a couple years btw) they slept together and seemed somehow more content. I can't explain it, but it true. You say they are solitary, but even in nature, in west africa, its not entirely true, balls are sometimes found together in dens even when not mating.
I'm surprised that the little one died because he was always the best shedder, the most energetic, the more efficient killer/eater. Until recently he looked the healthiest. The big one was never a good shedder and a bit more lethargic.
Anyway it's done...Squeezys dead, and most likely I am to blame. (though i have no idea what actually killed him...he seemed fine 2 days ago).
I'll try and do better with Kurtz, but If it was up to me all these snakes would be back in the jungle where they belong. Not on display in glass.
