Common sense also reads my full post, and realizes that I NEVER SAID it was the vets fault the snake died. I said that was a story for another day. Indeed, it is a story that has been told more than a few times over the past year (
full story can be found here).
Like Min said, the vet did not recommend I keep her in the bathroom when I was showering. He recommended I bring her in with me. Now I know common sense to us would say make sure not to
scald the snake, but to a newbie snake owner, they might take it in at regular "warm" temps for the human (which can be over 100*F and detrimental to the snakes health).
