I woke up this morning and found him dead, biting his body. His belly was green and extended and it looked like he had some sort of serious intestinal trouble. I think he was biting himself when he died because he was in pain.

So my question is why did he die and what should I do about it?
I know this is gross, but did you take pictures? It could really help determine what it was.
Take him to the vet to be cremated or even ask them what the vet thinks it was, and he may be able to tell you.

Sorry for your loss. :[

Petstores are really no good with snakes.
