Injured escapee

Wow Do they each have their own sack or all one big sack?

That's pretty amazing! It's a little odd to actually see a reptile give birth to live tiny baby snakes! I'm very surprised to see her giving birth to dark babies, too.

Is that one of your girls Steve? I saw it said "T. Radix Ranch" on the video.

That was my Rita, albino red phase T.radix. She passed from a pulmonary embolism.

That's too bad, I'm very sorry to hear that. She looks very beautiful, and I'm sure she produced very beautiful little ones(the ones I saw looked very nice).

I wasn't aware that snakes could have pulmonary emboli. I guess it could happen to anything with lungs and bloodflow. Just out of curiosity, how would you know if that happened? Snake autopsy?

[guidofatherof5]

Yes. I did a necropsy and had my Vet. confirm my findings.
He said that she would have died from this even if he had been there to treat her.

Wow, just a random happening I presume?

[guidofatherof5]

Yes, but tragic.

In my experience, the bellybuttons last for a few months. At least, that is the case with northwesterns.
