The shop in question has appologised and have given me a credit note upto the value of the hatchling and said that I can either get another snake from them or get any items from them, I an also getting straight back on the horse as I have found a breeder less than 15 minutes from where I live. He has over 60 hatchlings of various morphs and varieties and they start at £5 upwards. He said that I was welcome to go around to see them feed and ask any questions, he even said that after I get my faunarium set up he will come and check it out to see if he can spot anything that I maybe doing wrong so fingers crossed all goes well

I am seeing a breeder in the next day or so to pick a new hatchling and get back on the horse/snake, I am looking forward to it but at the same time I am also bricking it. It feels good to know that I can count on all of you for advice and tips and also the breeder is local and he said he will give me any aftercare and advice for as long as I need/want it
whoop! whoop! can't wait

Sorry to hear what has happened, the exact same thing happened to me, my caramel motley Pliskin was with me for 9 days before he passed away, he to had no physical marks to suggets illness except the green bruise caused by gall bladder leakage after death.

I got another snake within a few weeks and for the first fortnight lived on my nerves! Luckily Vin is now 8-months old and doing well. I'm sure your next hatchie will be healthy. Don't blame yourself, I did at first but like the others have said, this type of thing happens. Hope you find one you like!
