Got some bad news.

One of the females I hatched this year passed away, shes never eaten by herself and I had to force feed her quite a few times. She would never shed by herself either, I would soak her and I had to get most of her shed off aswell. Its like she didnt know what to do. Her temps and humidity couldnt have been any better, I tried live, frozen, prekilled, mice, rats, the newspaper trick, brown paper bags, and everything else you try to get them to eat but she never shown any interest in the food. This is very hard, to know I saw her poke her head out of the egg and take her first look at the world and now this. :(

oh gosh, I'm so sorry :( Well, just know where ever she is now is a better place.

ah i hate to hear about that. I hope everything else works out for the best.

i'm so sorry to hear this. seeing her take her first breath and hearing in the same year she's taken her last is very very sad for you :(

I'm so sorry... :( Poor little thing... but you can only do so much, sometimes it's just not meant to be... :hug:

i am so sorry to hear that. i know it doesn't help but at least she spent her whole life with some one that loved her and made that extra effort for her. :hug:

Oh Aric how sad. We had an 06 pass away in our hands this year and I know how dreadfully frustrating and heartbreaking it is. It must be so much worse for you having hatched this little one and worked so hard to try to give it a chance at life. Unfortunately, one of the hard lessons in breeding any living creature is not all of them are meant to grow up. Big hugs and so sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry Aric. I haven't experienced your loss but I know it will happen one day. Know that you did everything you could to help her. :(

Aric,


Very sad to hear your news. :( Comforting thoughts and warm hugs being sent your way!

aw. im sorry to hear your news too. atleast she's happy now, and in snakey heaven. lol.

Awww that is so sad, but I guess she was wanted/needed else where then on this Earth.

Aric,i am very sorry this has happened:( .Yea it is really hard to watch them look at the world for the first time and lose them.

I lost a couple of girls this year as well, and it is definately not fun. Fortunately the babies I bred are all doing very well.

So sorry to hear..Hang in there man...

Aric, sooo sorry. I'm sure there was nothing more you could have done, sometimes theres just something not right with a creature... (& some People too) :oops:


Sorry for your loss...

Please accept my condolensces as well, and I'm sending hugs your way. :hug:

I think this deserved to be said again. Better to be happy with the time you have, which is what this girl had.

Sorry to hear that Aric, sounds like you did all that you could, so I think it was just meant to be.

Sorry about your loss...


you lose some you win some-chubbs (happy gilmore)

I couldn't imagine losing a snake that I hatched ( not that I have hatched
anything but...)

:floating: Praying for the lil' girl!

im so sorry to hear that.

Thanks everyone for the warming words. I think the worst part is the fact that I saw her pip and now this, but I know this is part of breeding snakes. She was pretty funky, she was always real wobbly, she would try to crawl out of the tub and she would just flop upside down.
