RIP Sevirus

I'm sorry but I don't know how much more INCONSIDERATE you could be towards this guy. Or this forum. On any other forum I'd be asking for the ban stick for you.

To the op. Sorry to hear of your loss. Granted a short fall inside a tub shouldn't have killed him. It happens. Freak accident. And nobodys fault. And hopefully you can find another little friend to keep this awesome hobby alive for yourself.

Comments such as "u guys just don't have balls" will get you in trouble here as insults to members aren't well tolerated (plus using that wording is just silly....I've got 18 balls actually and that's a small collection compared to others on BPNet).

Perhaps it's time to sit back and think how you would feel should your snake suddenly pass and you were treated as you are treating the OP.

Joanna kudos. Great to see you at the helm again!
Couldn't give you another rep point but did want to say I agree 100%

Sometimes we need to walk in someone elses shoes before we can know what it like. There is a time and a place for everything, and now is not the time.

Really? You really think it was the next logical step? "Well, 1 foot is hardly enough room, they must have dropped it" :confused:

Then he did this on purpose/ accident and then went to an online forum to get sympathy hugs?? Are you serious?!

While some said that it isn't clear what happened, I think your comments are still uncalled for.

I have to admit to being curious about the death as well, but not in an accusatory manor, just a speculative one. I've always heard that when old people fall and break their hip that actually they probably broke their hip and then fell- so I was just thinking that the snake died of some catastrophic medical condition and then fell. Either way, it doesn't matter.

To accuse someone of killing their snake when they're basically posting an obituary/remembrance is silly and doesn't make much sense. I can tell you that if I ever accidentally killed my snake that I love I probably wouldn't immediately come here and post about it, in fact I'd probably feel like crawling into a hole rather than discussing it with anyone.

I think beer12 needs a time out, he isn't doing too well around here.

There is some concise truth there.

True, its one thing to speculate as to why this animal died, but to say the owner is lying is something completely different. They had no idea what happened, and they don't have the money for a vet to find out either. Look at a recent case, we may never know what happened to Nero, but it would be hard to find someone that cared more for his snake then Ben did, it was a shock to everyone, but no one called foul play because it wasn't even reasonable. Sometimes animals die, its a risk, but saying that someone is at fault is not warranted in this case at all in my opinion. They had an opinion on what happened, they may be wrong, but that isn't for us to decide and judge that they are lying.

I have heard stories of snakes that got dropped from much higher surfaces or slung across the room when someone accidently panicked when they were bit, and no detrimental effects. I would have reason to believe that it could have been a husbandry issue. Where did you buy him from??? Did you happen to have any chemicals on your hands or fuming through the room?? What kind of substrate did you use???
Many questions here that could hold the answer other than your deduction.

I have still yet to hear any info to my questions from the OP. If there was something wrong husbandry wise, I would feel better that the OP would be aware of it before he acquired another one. This way, he would have a better experience the next time around. As owning snakes is an ongoing learning experience, it is better to learn now instead of later.

Um... next time you decide to post something, sober up from the 12 beers first.

Oh, sorry, someone had to say it. Doh!

Sorry about your loss sevirus669. :(

I too am very curious about the snake's demise. I agree that a 12" fall could not have killed him. However, I don't think its appropriate to accuse or be demanding of more information.

sevirus669, I think everybody just wants to figure out how this could have happened. I know I'm very curious, not because I want to figure out what you did wrong but because if there is a way a BP can just die like that I'd like ot know what it is!

Once again, my sympathies. And, when you're ready, get yourself another special snake. Old age, sickness, cars, and even a couple of freak accidents have claimed pets of mine in the past. I would have missed out on so much if I hadn't moved on.

I wish I did know exactly what happened but I don't. I dont know if it was instant I hope it was though so he didnt suffer. Thats just what I deduced, all I really know is that I handled him at about 8pm last night, checked his temperatures and humidity (83F cool side, 90F warm side & 55% humidity), cleaned up a bit of poo and put him back in his tank. He ate 3 days prior and was active as per his usual self after that. Before that he had a fecal done by my vet and it came back clean, he had a check up and came back with a clean bill of health. I checked in on him this morning before I went to work at 10am and i found that he has passed. So I basicly can only speculate on what happened.

What sort of husbandry issue do you think could have been responsible for the scenario describe here?
