Did Amy Hognose Snake have a heart attack?
#4
She seems fine now. It is still cold outside so she is quiet. If she had a small heart attack she has made a good recovery. If she was faking she was very convincing.  After they fake death they do lie around like they are dead for some time. It is a survival trick. Most predators won't eat a dead snake. They will even give off a nasty musk smell like they have been dead for days. She didn't do that. 
I just don't know, but it did make me aware of just how old she is.  I will be watching her more closely. There is not much I can do if her heart fails. I have seen a snake have a stroke and it is different.  He didn't actually survive the stroke, he had a second one an hour after the first and it killed him.

Amy looks like her usual self.
