My Brown snake gets slightly fatter after eating but this usually goes away within a day. It's been several days now and my snake has a lump in her. My mom bought a different worm I believe it is called a digger worm which is slightly bigger then the earthworm so I thought maybe she is just constipated, and having trouble breaking down the worm. My friend told me to try and soak the lump in warm water, to loosen up whatever is in there, but it is still there. anyone familiar with this?:confused:

kind of like in that pic but maybe a little higher.
I'm a bit worried.

Never Mind, Sally Died. I found her this morning. I'm so depressed, I really loved that snake.

Losing them is always hard. Especially when we have gotten so close to them.
I for one would like to know about her when and if you feel up to sharing some stories.

Sad day... bummer.

Sounds like she may have swallowed something that caused a blockage but it could have also been a parasite or number of other things...

You did your best and that's all anyone can do. These things happen.
