The inevitability of losing . . . .

[Smulkin]

Came home mid-last week to find our lil Pueblan Milk (TR) peeping out of his substrate . . . and not ducking back under as I walked past - knew right then he was not "here". Still I was shocked to see he'd died - his environment has always been stable and healthy and he'd only refused three feedings prior - healthy lil guy I got from P.T. Reptiles so no worries he'd come with morbidity included. Haven't "lost one" since I was a kid - bummer - though I knew it was inevitable that at some point, y'know.

Gonna miss that quick lil bugger - they are singlularly beautiful lil snakes and I'd hoped to have him around waaay past his maturity.

Man sorry to hear that. At least you made his time with you comfortable. And you will still have a setup when you decide to get something to take his place.

So sorry to hear that

I don't know what I'll do if/when I lose my first snake. I can't imagine.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Not much else to say except that really sucks.

I am SOOO sorry, thats aweful. But I am sure that you took AWESOME care of him while he was with you. I hate when a critter you care about dies, it always sucks, never gets easier even though we get older.

Yeah - you'll have that - he was bright little guy - and I somehow managed NOT to pick up another this past weekend at the Pittsburgh show - damn I must be getting old
