Ball python died. Are my other pythons at risk from digestive issues?

Question

I work in a pet store, we had three baby ball pythons. One has passed away today and I want to make sure the other two aren't at risk, I'm thinking it was a digestive problem because they weren't eating and then it took them a long time to pass it through. Please help so I can save the other two pythons.

Unfortunately, not eating is a very non-specific clinical sign. While one snake passed away, this does not necessarily suggest that the other two are ill or not ill. If you have any other reasons to think they are ill, I would suggest you have them examined by a veterinarian in person who is experienced with reptiles, snakes in particular. They will be able to assess them for any evidence of metabolic disease, skin issues, digestive problems, and any thing else that is obviously wrong. For a more in depth analysis, they would have to obtain some blood work to assess the organ function. Hope this helps.
