I found my 11 month old Motley female corn dead in her water bowl this evening. Has anyone hear of anything like suicide w/ corns? At first I thought she was just soaking, but I got closer and her head was under all the way and her mouth was open. She had not been eating well for several months, and I don't know why. She maybe had three or four peach fuzzy mice during this time period. I seemed like she would fast herself. (anorexic?) The last time I fed all my snakes was about 4 days ago. I was getting really worried about her not eating and loosing weight it seemed so I used my last resort- my pinkie pusher. The next day I found that she had regurgitated all that up into her water bowl. Her bowl is relativley shallow filled with about 3/4ths an inch of water, and she should have no trouble getting out of it because I bury it so it's level with the substrate. One more detail. I recently, say within the last week, put some new repti-bark in thier cages, if that would be something to concider. This whole thing is terribly sad and discouraging. If anyone has any ideas as to why this happened please respond.
