    Re: My baby ball died yesterday. I need help please

    I tried everything I could possibly could and beyond how I rushed the use of the Bioactive unknowingly, that was not what caused this.

    I have a question that is hard to ask but I need to know. Is there anything I can do to make my house safe for any snake after this ? Do I need to toss all the stuff? Tanks and everything or can the f10 clean non porous stuff and toss anything like cork and wood?

    Nugget was my first and beyond the excruciating loss and so much financial loss I loved having her so much and would like to have a chance at a healthy baby. I hate to think this could be over forever for me.
    I'm so very sorry for your heart-breaking loss- from your previous posts, I had a feeling- a bad feeling- about where this was heading, but you never know for sure.

    So this wasn't actually proven by the vet to be Nido? I don't think bioactive had much to do with this. I suspect you came home with an already-at-risk-&-most-likely-sick snake- you got off to a very unfortunate beginning with snakes. If it's any consolation, the second snake I ever got (not long after the first but from a pet store) was sick & I (& the vet) were unable to save her. But here I am, with decades of many snakes in my life since then, so no, it's not "over" unless you want it to be. It wasn't your fault- even though you made some mistakes & could have done things better, it's unlikely you could have changed the outcome. Some things are just very hard or impossible to treat- & this snake was already weak- & really was not ideal for a new snake-keeper either.

    But yes, you have a lot of cleaning to do, & I'd wait a while too. Toss out anything porous like cork & wood- sorry, it's just not safe to clean & re-use them.
