Recently, my Patternless Snow Corn, "Kujo" died. I had him for over 2 years and would really like to have some idea what might have killed him. Late last year he went through a "no eating" phase. He fasted almost 4 months and after a trip to a vet and some force fed medicine he started eating again. I was feeding him small to medium thawed mice. By the way, I do not know how old this snake was because I found him in my back yard in June of 08 in the process of swallowing a full grown Robin! He was an adult male about 40 inches long. Sometime in September of this year I noticed that even though he was eating, he appeared to be losing weight. At on point I offered him a mouse and when he took it he was very slow. The next day I took him out of his cage and could tell that he was pretty weak. Immediately went to the vet who had treated him before. His weight was quite a bit less than when I had him in before even though he had been eating good compared to his 4 month fast last year. The vet treated him with something directly into his gut but he died a couple of days later. The vet mentioned something about parasites which made sense to me. But I do not know where he would have picked up anything like that. I would like to get another corn snake but before I do I would like to have some idea about what killed Kujo. Anyone have any ideas?
