With so little known who knows some snakes may have an immunity.... Who knows...
Yeah, don't do anything crazy until you get the test done on the dead snake, it could turn out to just be something that one snake had. I am very sorry for your loss and hope you can figure out what has happened soon so you do not have to worry!
And maybe its just me, but I would absolutely never freeze a snake, no matter the state it is in. I have money I have saved in the bank just for my pets, I would have them euthanized, I have had to freeze tarantulas in the past and even that isn't pretty, as soon as they start to feel the cold they twitch and make terrible positions and although I know they do not feel much it is hard to deal with, I would never freeze an animal with a spine.
