Adam,

That really sucks about your python and I am sorry. I have had snakes die for no apparent reason, only to take them to the vet and have the vet tell me as much as I knew: nothing.
I have heard of gout, and it sounds like what CheriS is saying makes sense.
It may be something that if it is genetic and from that particular breeder's line, he may not believe your claims cause he honestly feels like his animals are 100% healthy and by no means is he trying to be shady, but simply doesn't believe it and may have had no bad luck with his parents.
It is a hard thing to figure out, since your snake died months after getting it and it ate fine for you for a while.
I am confused though. You stated that your friend bought the snake on 8/2 at the Daytona show and you received it on 8/5. You may have your dates mixed up as the Daytona show was on 8/17-8/18. So what I am wondering is when exactly was your python born?
