I dont know anything about snakes myself. She called it belly rot. She was out of town for two weeks and unfortunately the person housesitting didnt know not to feed the snake during shedding, either that or couldnt tell he was shedding, and when she returned he was sick. She did everything she could to save him but he didnt last the night unfortunately.
I'm just wondering because that is a very quick death.
Rot takes months of sitting in it's own piss and shit to set in and it spreads very quickly and it's very painful as well as highly infectius. Blister disease is common in too high humidity as well.
Feeding during shedding has no effect whatsover.
Something has gone very wrong for it to die so quickly

Well, like I said, I'm not knowledgeable of our scaly friends, and this was the first snake she had owned. I asked her if he could have possibly consumed a bad pinkie that was parasitic or something? I guess we don't really know.
It was a VERY quick death. I was coming by every few days to make sure the housesitter was doing his job. On Sunday night I checked on little Murderface and he was coiled up under his coconut hut as usual, flicking his little tongue at me. I gave him some water in his bowl and she arrived back in town Wednesday night and by Thursday evening she had sent me a text saying he was sick. Friday morning he had passed away.
I do know she took very good care of him and changed his bedding regularly, so I guess it couldnt have been rot.

I'm not accusing anyone of anything in case your thinking that i just find things liek this interesting as i'm wanting to be a reptile vet.
Corns DO have a problem known as sudden death syndroom (that's how my corn died) it's a result of them being massively and intensivly bred and inbred to produce the amount of colour morphs as the genes don't just control colour. Sudden death usually happens in corn snakes before they are five years old.
