Ever have an autopsy done on your Rosy that died?

The vet said mine had a lot of uric acid in it's kidneys. I don't know if that means it died of old age though. The vet said the snake didn't have anything contagious that would spread to my other Rosys.

How old was your rosy?

Uric acid in reptiles is used in the final steps to pull all the remaining nutrients out of food befsore defecating. It is really the dry white solid poop you have too clean up after they go. In humans, too much can lead to a variety of health issues including diabetes. It can cause anything from gout, kidney stones, kidney failure, cardiovascular diseae, and a few other problems.

I had her for 9 years. And she only grew 2-3 inches after I bought her. So I am guessing she was 12-15 years old.
