Gracie is dead

[wolfy-hound]

My red male tegu Gracie is dead. I came home to find him laying under the basking lamp dead. No idea what happened, he looks to be in perfect health, but dead.

Since Noah was just stolen out of the outdoor pen a week ago, I wonder if something happened. I don't know other than that what to think, he's been agitated since then.

I'm kind of devestated right now. My cousin died yesterday, my AC died yesterday, and today I find my beloved Gracie dead. I just don't know.

[rebeccabecca]

What a horrible time your having. I hope that things get a better for you real soon although nothing can stop the hurt of a loved one who passes.

Thanks to everyone. I'm sitting here bawling my eyes out, because I just put his body in the freezer. There isn't any vet around to do a necropsy before monday, by which time the body will be hard frozen, and it would be near impossible to tell most anything from a necropsy at that point.
I'll be calling UF vet to see what they say. I keep crying thinking that maybe somehow he could still be alive, and then finally put the body in the freezer, and I'm still thinking "What if he woke up in the freezer???"
It's stupid, and I know it's stupid. I just am so upset right now. I got my tegus as little hatchlings.
