thinking about being done now

she hasnt had problems with him at all or any of her snakes but I will let her know and see if she wants to send him back

so the secret comes out.....like most people would be Im still depressed over this and brought her up today with my little sister and shes said " I might know how she died, when you werent here....the kittens knocked her tub down and the lid busted off and Caramel bit her head when Juliet tried to bite her paw, she tried getting away from her but Caramel bit her head again but I saved her and put her back." Im not sure this could have killed her but the kittens have knocked her tub down multiple times I have tried to lock the kittens out and block the shelves with posters and boards I set a rock on top of the tub to make it heavier but they kept getting her and the other little girl next to her. Well the kittens are now in new homes after attacking the conure today and almost setting the house on fire chewing through a heater cord and the christmas light cords surprise they didnt electrocute themselves. Anyways as usual yesterday the kitten not Caramel but Shadow knocked down my little het female and now I still cant find her..

^ Sounds like you need a sturdy rack in a separate bedroom, away from your other pets.

I'm sorry to hear about your losses. I can only imagine how I'd feel if I had lots of mine die within a short period of time. I probably wouldn't want to continue with collecting for awhile either. But since we're deadling with live animals it's unfortunate that deaths will occur: sometimes by sickness or accidents. I wish every animal would pass in old age, but with keeping any animal death is going to occur eventually - sometimes in ways we wouldn't expect.

I'd take a break from collecting (no new additons until you figure if sickness is spreading through your collection as been mentioned) and just focus on your remaining snakes and enjoy them for them. You may move on from these feelings of giving up this hobby quicker than you think.
