No, no, no I’m sorry…disinfect everything the pied came in contact with…the tub, tools, water bowl…I sorry I should have clarified

Disinfect and then rinse off anything that the pied came into contact with, please do not try to disinfect your snakes. You can use bleach on containers, hides, bowels, scales, etc (I use a 10% solution and let it sit for half an hour) and then rinse off well before using them.

No mystery to me starvation. Underlying causes not sure without a necropsy.

I agree with @thecrawdfather looks like malnutrition.

You can have a vet do a necropsy. If you keep the body in the refrigerator (not the freezer) then you can wait a couple days to get it done. If you already froze it then there will be no way to tell the cause.

I third @thecrawdfather and @saleengrinch…unfortunately that animal hadn’t eaten in a very long time…I don’t think you have anything to worry about with your other animals…give your other animal’s enclosers a cleaning, if only for peace of mind. I think you’re good.
