At a loss

I'm quite bewildered an still trying to make sense of things. I don't think it's actually fully sunk in.

Today my Enchi pastel Orange ghost died. Everything was as normal until Today. I found her this afternoon, Her body muscles were twitching but her head and tail were limp. It wasn't long and she had totally stopped moving. When I picked her up it seemed her heart was enlarged and firm, everything else was.. well.. squishy, as I would expect. Sorry for all the "gorry" details, I still can't believe she's gone.

She was one of those snakes that Everytime you saw Her/thought of her you were still amazed she was yours, in your collection. She was one of the favorites, if not the favorite.

Sorry, she was just incredible. I wish i could bring her back.

Wow, that does sound a bit confusing. Sorry for your loss. :(

Really sorry for your loss.

So sad. Sorry.

Albert, you're the man! How generous! :D

Now that's walking the talk and being truly supportive indeed! :)

You know it Reinz! Once we start really sticking together then we can make strides forward and defeat things like the Lacey act. :gj:

Right you are Albert. Great attitude. :gj:

So sorry for your loss :(
Albert you are amazing!!

Mr. Clark you made my decade!

That is an amazing and generous gesture.

I am not sure what happened. Last weekend she ate, striking and killing her f/t with great vigor as she always had. This past weekend she refused food, I wasn't worried as I knew she was due to shed. Sure enough that night she shed. Now that I look back I do remember thinking it odd that she didn't poo just before or with her shed, but wasn't anything alarming. That night she poo'd. Everything seemed normal. I was going to check on the snake next to her cage about its shed, when I found her. It looked like her head and tail were limp but the middle third muscles were twitching. Her body was still, just the muscles twitching. It wasn't long and all movement stopped. Her heart area was the last to stop twitching, and looked enlarged. She was all limp and squishy except what I assume was her heart. It felt firm.

Sorry if that's to much detail. It was just so sudden and she was a favorite.

:hug:
