Loss of Nero

I just got off the phone with my mom, she found my little Nero stiff as a board this afternoon when she went to go check on him. She says the temps have stayed constant at 82/90 controlled by herpstat, and has been eating regularly since I left for school. Supposedly there were no signs of injury or illness. I am quite upset at the moment... barely knew the fiesty little bugger, but I miss him so much already.:rainon::crying::upset::worry::depressed:sniff::tears::dead::omg::rage:

so sorry to hear that. hopefully you feel better.

Im so so sorry to hear this bad news. Nero was one hot stud.

What was he housed in?

he was housed in a reptile basics small animal cage at the time.

thats odd. Did you asked about the humidity? If everything is right, I dont see what could go wrong. I would go back and check/ask the breeder who you bought it from. I know he is a good breeder, but its always best to go back and ask him. Best wishes Ben

Yea, I have shot Jeff an e-mail already and am curious as to whether he can shed some insight into the situation. I have not asked my mom what the humidity was this morning and am assuming it was within normal ranges as I had given my mom several lessons on taking care of my herps before I left, and my dad has a fair amount of experience in snake keeping. My really only guess is that something happened that they're not telling me, but seeing as I'm away at college there is little I can do from here to try and find the under-lying reason.

Oh Ben, my heart goes out to ya. Nero was a major hottie, and I know his death is especially difficult without any explanation as to why this happened. Not to mention all the other difficulties you have had to endure. I'm so sorry this happened, and I wish there was more I could do to help ya through this. :hug:

yea... So I just received the last thing in the world I wanted to get... absolute proof.
