Thiaminase problem or .....?

Depends on where you live. I live in the middle of the country, I doubt anything I buy is fresh. Prepackaged means processed to some degree. The country of origin is another thing to watch. I don't buy any fish from China.

I find this hilarious! You made me cry with laughter with this one. Thanks, I needed that after yesterday and tonight.

I'm sorry for the loss of your snake. It could have been many things, and all we, or the vet over the phone can do, is guess. If not too late, you can take your snake in for a necropsy which may reveal what the cause was, which may be helpful if it turns out to be something that can affect your other snakes.

For a herp vet in Europe, begin looking here https://www.eczm.eu/Herpetology%20Specialty.asp
You may have to call around and get recommendations that are closer; but being a reptile you may have to expect to drive a while; especially if in a very rural area.
