Often seems that way. You'll find lots of reputable breeders on here if you look around the for sale sections, and maybe suffer fewer losses that way.

If you want more informed options on the reason for the death you'll either need to post more information (photos?) or get the body to a vet. For instance you say the water bowl was empty - do you mean it had dried up or maybe the snake had knocked it over possibly by having convulsions?

If you post more about how you are keeping your snakes - things like the normal temperature range, heat source, humidity, enclosure type - people might be able to make suggestions for improvement.

I don't know of any other condition that causes cloudy eyes, but if you post more details maybe someone more experienced will comment.

You might also post in the "Veterinary Practice and General Health" forum
