    Worst week EVER

    I have never had so many things go worng in one week related to reptiles.

    Friday one of my neonates escapes (thankfully he was found).

    Yesterday a snake I thought was going to be arriving isn't now because it was mis-sexed. This transaction has been pending for about 5 months and now I am going to be surprised when the box comes. I don't know if I should be excited (like waiting for Christmas) or scared since everything has been going bad lately.

    A heat mat I sent out a few days ago gets returned saying insufficient postage. Now I have to go down to the post office tomorrow and resend it and hope I don't lose the money spent on the preprinted label.

    Today one of the large girls (who was supposed to be getting shipped out Monday) regurges.

    One of my large males just had the WORST shed I have ever seen.

    WTH is going on this week?

    Ugh!

    Re: Worst week EVER

    I'm sorry things are going wrong, but it could have been worse.

    You say it's the worst week ever, but you were actually pretty fortunate. You FOUND your neonate. The snake was only missexed, not dead upon arrival. At least your heatpad wasn't LOST in the mail. Ok, you get my point..

    You should try and concentrate on the things you have to be thankful for. I hope things improve for you though. BIG HUGS to you!

    True.

    Things not related to reptiles have been going great. It just seems that anything that has to do with reptiles has been going downhill lately.

    Re: Worst week EVER

    i know what you're saying man. i have those weeks/days. my ackies cage had ants in it the other and they started to get really bad. they had those white egg sacks under his waterbowl so i finally decided to completely mix up, and wet the dirt. they're gone now though.
