Homer

Some of you may remember me asking last week if Homer's ill temperment was due to his impending shed. Well, Saturday i noticed his eyes were back to normal and there was a perfect little shed in there, but he was still going nuts. I made a vet appointment for this comming Wednesday, just as a precautionary measure. I came home from work tonite and checked on everybody. Sprocket was fine, Andy was fine, Homer wasnt moving. I opened the cage up and instantly knew he had died. He was just a baby, and i already miss him. I dont know what in the world could have killed him. :(

:cry: sry bout ur loss :cry:

Sorry to hear about Homer :(

man, so sorry to hear that. i know how much you admired the little guy. you really should find out what caused the death being that you have 2 more snakes. be very careful man, i'd hate to see sprocket or andy die as well.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss

man that's rough buddy I'm sorry to hear that news :(

That's terrible, Carson! I hope whatever killed him isn't contagious. Any chance you could get fecals done on Andy and Sprocket to make sure the girls are ok? Then at least you'd have an idea whether it was something he might have come in with, like parasites, or something that he could have gotten from prey or environment (by way of a tick bite or something).

So sorry to hear that. It is so hard when you loose a cold blooded buddy.

oh no, Im sorry!
it always hard to lose a friend

I'm very sorry to hear the, Carson. :(

I'm reallysorry about your loss. But he is in a better place now.

That is terrible news, I'm so sorry. I would definitely try to find out the cause and get the other guys checked out as well.

I am sorry about your loss. It may give you some piece of mind to find out what he died from.

sorry for the loss of your buddy....

Thx for the kind word guys. I'm taking Andy and Sprocket instead of Homer to the vet on Wednesday. Homer wasnt in the same room with them, so i'm hoping whatever killed him hasnt gotten them too.

That's terrible, Carson! I'm sorry for your loss.

I am sorry about your snake.
I think it's a good thing that the others were in a seperate room. Was he in quarantine? If so, it's a good example of why quarantining is so important.

i am sorry about your loss hope the other two are all in goo shape. Take care

Hi Carson,
I am very sorry for your loss.
I hope that Andy, and Sprocket do ok. Please keep us updated on what the vet says.
Thanks
Rusty

Yes, he was in quarantine. I've only had him for about 2 months, and he wasnt scheduled to come near either of the other two for at leat another month if not two. I'll make sure to let you guys know what happens at the vet tomorrow afternoon.
