I had to go out for awhile this afternoon. While out I got a phone call from my husband regarding a dead snake in my collection. He says it killed itself. [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_confused.gif[/img] After we went through the which cage is it in thing and all that...It turns oput to be the Suriname Boa I had taken in from highlander back in like December/January. The snake came into me with burns on about 1/3rd the length of it's lower body from a UTH. We successfully rehabbed the snake np and it has been doing fine all along with no issues at all healthwise.
I told him I would check it out when I got home then. Couldn't do anything about it while I am not there.
So I get home and ask WTF happened. he tells me that the snake strangled/suffocated itself. UH HUH [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_confused.gif[/img] [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img] He shows me the snake and ..YUP It did just what he said it did.

The snake either was shedding or had shed. The shed snake's head was inside the shed and the shed also was wrapped around it's neck tightly also. [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_confused.gif[/img] Weird thing is the snake either shed itself from the tail forward or climbed back into the shed after it got it off headfirst. Then proceeded to cause it's own demise. [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_confused.gif[/img] [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_confused.gif[/img]
My husband thoroughly checked the snake out when he found it like that and it was allready dead, so he left the snake as he found it for me to see what it had done.
Anyone ever hear of or have a snake that has strangled itself during a shed like this ?
