Saying goodbye

:cry: Just after I posted my happy post under geckos a couple of minutes ago, my roommate discovered Seymour dead. As you know, we've been battling an RI with him for several weeks and he's not eaten the entire time since he got ill.

He was awake and looking around this morning, and I hadn't looked at him since I got home as I was doing other things (checking Snyder's shed, getting kids fed, misting cresties, etc.). She went to check on him and he was just lying there, clearly dead. She's put him in a baggie and into the fridge and will be taking him to the vet tomorrow to see about a necropsy. I offered her any of my boys, but she is upset and says she'll never have another pet.

i am soooooooooo sorry.....it is never good to have a loss like that. My heart goes out to you and your roommate

oh man i'm really sorry to hear that. :(

Awww, poor Snyder, I'm sorry to hear that :( We're all here for you guys

Thanks, y'all. As I've mentioned before, he was the most laid back of all our snakes, always fine with being handled, and he even put up with his medicine injections with a good attitude.

Geeze, I am really sorry to hear that. :( I know how you guys must feel. I hope she changes her mind someday and decides to get another pet. My thoughts are with you.

Bad news - sorry to hear - losing them after a protracted illness doesn't make it much easier :(

Heavens got plenty of room for our little guys, he will be fine where he's at now. Sorry for your loss.

Thanks, everyone. By the way, Lindsay, Snyder is fine, though she needs to shed. It's Seymour, the poss het piebald, who passed today.

Sorry to hear this Marla..
