Re: RIP
I'm sorry! Most shops have some sort of guarantee on the animals they sell. Usually like a week or so. Good luck, and be careful if you buy anything else from them.

Re: RIP
Sorry for your loss. I would like to add that by looking at how tiny that corn is it had to be extremely young. reputable dealers and petstores usually will not sell a baby until it has proven to feed at least 6 or 7 times, judging the size of yours (though difficult in a photo) I'd be surprised if it has been fed 3 times. It looks to me like it's only a few weeks old. Just my opinion.

Re: RIP
Thats a baby Snow Corn. I own an adult female. If my eyes are not deceiving me, that little baby has internal bleeding. Look at the picture, at the body furthest up toward your wrist. That dark coloration appears to be internal bleeding that is common after the snake has pinned itself or has been pinched by something. (Which can actually occur in the enclosure with loose decor.)

Re: RIP
That stinks. Any ideas as to what was wrong with it?
I'd be surprised if that was the only contributory factor to the snakes death. That spot doesn't look all that large compared to the rest of its body. But then again, I have known to be wrong from time to time....

Re: RIP
Im leaving now for the pet store the guy was very nice and is very educated about alot of reptiles. Hes goin to let me refund it, im probally going to pick up a larger snake. I dont know which type,the black on it got alot bigger so I couldve been internal bleeding. Im not sure. there was a small black spot on it when we purchased, I assumed it was a Pinky or somthing but it was only a few cm long..
