Found my Axanthic female dead

[Jeff B]

she has been off feed for a month, thought she was going to have babies a month ago, found her dead today, and she looked really bloated in the back, so I cut her open and sure enough she was full of jelly beans and a few dead fully developed snakes in the middle, the jelly bean back by here cloaca were half developed babies and all swelled up 4 times the size of a jelly bean. I am guessing that they clogged up when she should have given birth and then everything died inside her and went septic and killed her. When I cut her open it stunk to high heck, very rancid, and it wasn't just from her death because she was alive this morning, but her dead babies were mush and ripe.
