The Unthinkable Happened to my Retic

I really don't know what to say right now so if my thoughts sound jumbled sorry.

I just got back from the vet's office. Came home today after work for a lunch break, and I went to go check on my snakes and feed the ones I didn't yesterday. And next the next thing I'm freaking doing is driving to my Vet's office. I found my male SD retic dead..I'm in shock and I'm not quite sure how I should react since right now I can barely stop my hands from shaking. He wasn't stiff, no rigor mortis so he must have died when I was at work. There was blood coming out of his mouth the vet said it was probably internal bleeding like an anuerysm or something idk. Shes going to do a necropsy I don't really remember what she said since my mother thought it was funny to mock me and the situation which I'm still furious about. I checked EVERYTHING once I got back and before I left to the Vet. Nothing what so every seems wrong or out of place. I'll let yall know the results when I get them.

Dude....my condolences


Not to be rude, but tell your mom to buff off....no need to mock someone in a situation like this.......we ACTUALLY care for our snakes......sorry man.

That's terrible man.

Let us know what the results are.

That's horrible. I'm sorry to hear that.

So sorry for your loss Jason.

I am sorry to hear that Jason I know how much you loved your SD.

Sadly sometimes they just die it happens, try not to beat yourself up (or anyone else) and hopefully your vet will be able to shed some light on what might have happen.

Loosing a pet is never easy whether that pet is a furry one or a scaly one and hopefully your mom can understand that. :hug:

Sorry to hear this, Jason. I know you loved that retic.

Very sorry to hear about this man. Its never easy loosing a pet :(

My condolences as well. I know how I felt when I lost my Het female Red Tail and the Pastel Ball I got last year shortly after taking delivery of them. Hopefully your vet can find out the exact cause of death. Keep us posted!!

Really sorry to hear that Jason... It's always hard when you know you've given your snake everything it needs to thrive. Hopefully you find your answers with the necropsy.
