Re: My snakes died.... Almost a grand lost in snakes in one day.
how big is your lawn to be letting them roam around?

Re: My snakes died.... Almost a grand lost in snakes in one day.
Your not supposed to let your snakes roam in the yard. Thats a great way to get tick and mites and those things equal infections and death. Can't account for the quick death. Sounds like someone injected those bitches with straight acid. Death is usually a slow and systematic process no matter what animal/organism it happens to. I can't see something this extreme happening that quickly....

Then my girlfriend comes over and smells it from the start of my driveway. She just happens to mention maybe its the snakes. So we go and look. Sure enough, 3 out of the 4 in one tank are dead. Bloated dead. Like when i touched them to see if they were alive, one popped and spilled its guts. Literally. It was the worse smell i have ever smelled. And believe me, i have smelled blood and ---- on a womans breath before. Im ready to leave the house for work, and in uniform, but i gotta get these snakes out first. So i go get my paint respirator and some gloves and start to pull out the snakes and they feel like a inner tube that doesn't have enough air in it. They were just jelly. All in a day or two TOPS.... One (my small burmese) was still alive but acting extremly wierd, like cranking his neck over and flipping upside down. Snakes are never supposed to flip upside down. So after getting out the dead snakes (got guts all over my uniform when one of them split open on me before it made it to the trash bag), i got the living one out and bagged that one seperatly. I took it out into the county and popped one into its head (trust ole' hipoint 9mm ftw here) first shot. So in total i lost 3 columbian red tail boas at about $200 a pop and a $350 burmese python today. My giant albino (that was not in the same tank, he just roams around the room) is perfectly fine, but i quarentined him in a seperate room anyways. I los almost a grand in snakes today. And i was late for work, and had to work utility (READ: bitch/gopher on a mile wide unit) so i got wore the ---- out today. About the worst day i have had in a really long ass time. I think it was the burmese who brought in a desease and it killed my other snakes. Nothing else in my opinion could have killed 3 snakes like this in so short a time. They were coiled exactly like they are when they are basking so it wasn't like one of them got a case of the ass and decided to kill the others. My dad thinks it is becuase when he filled the water bowl up he put too much in and it poured out when the snakes crawled into it and maybe shorted out the hotrock in the tank. But that still wouldn't explain why the burmese lived and how they got so disgustingly bloated so quickly. Just kinda ranting on a shitty day though.
you should have never had 4 snakes in 1 setup the rule is 1setup=1 snake do you realize snakes are solitary animals by nature? |

In this case if they were separated only 1 might have died, assuming they did catch something. Do you feed them things from outside? It's a good way for harmful shiz to be passed to them. It's recommended you don't feed tarants wild-caught creatures just because they can catch diseases from them, and I know this rule applies to other animals. Good luck on finding out what happened. I'm still betting on a parasite or infection...unless you know someone that might have poisoned them. There's a lot of living ----, like bacteria, that like to expel gasses...which would possibly explain the bloating. |
