    bad news

    my blue striped is dead
    I cannot believe it
    yes, she was one of the three snakes I took to the vet last time, but she was the one I was least concerned about
    her blisters were almost gone
    she didn't eat on Tuesday and I handled her for a while - she seemed fine
    I checked on her Wednesday, gave her fresh water, but didn't take her out
    yesterday I was busy and didn't even check on her, but normally I wouldn't think of that as an issue
    today I was going to offer her a fresh pinkie and found her not only dead, but already smelling bad
    how could this have happened?
    I just totally don't get what happened

    so sorry, how old was she...?
    Snakes have a habit of hiding illness so that they do not appear to be an easy target for prey..
