Tanami, Woma Python

[Prognathodon]

This morning I realized Tanami was in the same spot he spent most of yesterday. As soon as I touched him I realized he was gone. A couple weeks ago his scales looked pretty ruffled up from a combination of mites, soaking, and being in shed, but perked up after we treated his enclosure with Provent-A-Mite, he shed, and ate.

Last weekend we treated other enclosures with Provent-A-Mite, and at one point a couple/few days after I did see him staring at the ceiling, but moved when I opened his cage, so I wasn’t sure if he was stargazing or just being silly snek, and didn’t see a repeat.

Unfortunately, I’ll never know if it was mites, the Provent-A-Mite, or some combination, as his body wasn’t in a good enough condition for a necroscopy.

Called my husband to cry on his virtual shoulder, he’s at a loss also. And he won’t be back home until Saturday (truck driver). At least I’ve got my dogs. Tanami was such a sweet boy, never aggressive, even the one feed-response bite was my fault and not serious.
