So I went in to check on my pastel last night and when I peaked in his tub I noticed he was laying in what I thought was an awkward position. I opened his tub completely and reached in to touch his tail, thinking he would move but he didn't. I lifted him and he was stiff. I couldn't believe it. I called my wife into the room and she was as shocked as I was. She said she was going to talk to her vet about doing a necropsy. I am just still in disbelief. My first morph, my pride and joy, second only to my first bp I've ever owned. I had big plans for this guy, Had 3 women ready for him to breed to this year and then this happens. I dont really know what to say about it. Looks like I'm back to square one, with only my normals. I quickly quarantined all of the other snakes, every one in a separate room (which was hard to find room for them all!) and I'm going to have a vet check all of them (pending the necropsy) I'm just really bummed out. I was going to try and save up to get a ready to breed female pastel also to switch out with one of the ladies he was going to pair up to this fall. Now I'm not really sure where I'm going to go as far as projects. I was currently heading towards super pastels and now that he's gone I'm not sure if I should continue heading in the same direction or if I should consider possibly saving a bit more and getting one that is a little more expensive. **sighs** Either way it's a big set back and a horrible disappointment. The mood around the house is horrible today :-\ Just thought I'd let everyone know so you can appreciate how much your babies really mean to you...:(
