The urate is what she passed upon her death.... |

I'm sorry I dont actually have any idea what may have caused that, maybe take the animal to a vet and see if they can give you any answers, especially if you have any other pythons. if it's a disease it may spread. |

It could have been something that the food item had in its stomach. |

Really have know idea...possibly just a weak snake due to the fact it never ate well?? |

Hi,if you want to know what actually caused it get it tested,bhps die from salmonella from time to time,Neil Sonnemon
reports this and i have had some die from bergendorfs strain salmonella also and they writh about in agony.Appart from that it could be viral,doubt whether it would be fatty liver in such a young animal. |

I had that before after spraying for mites and the snake died

I had a baby carpet die who was excreting bile prior to death and the post mortem examination revealed liver failure - I'd recommend getting a post mortem done
