He was still very aggressive - in fact, he was striking at me not 2 days before he died, which I perceived as "normal" for him. I was wearing kevlar gloves at the time so he did no damage.

The Vet is convinced that there was some kind of blockage in his digestive tract, and after I told him about the aggression - that something had been wrong with him for a while - he just hadn't been showing physical symptoms. He told me that kind of behavior is not typical for rainbow boas.
