Sad news....

[reptile3]

Aundrea's albino checkered garter, passed away this morning. It was her new snake, with the mites, but she had gotten all the mites off him.

Aundrea's internet is not working, so she asked me to let you all know.
I am going to email the guy she bought the snake from, since she bought the snake less than 2 weeks ago.

Let Aundria know my thoughts are with her Steph.:(

Gosh THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!!!!! *BIG HUGS*

Well my damn DSL has been down since Sat. Well the AT&T Guy came out today to fix it so im finally back on the net. God i was sooo BORED with out it lol. Anyways yes my poor little baby died :( Im so so upset about it. I finally got rid of them damn mites and then this happens. Yesterday he was doing good so I left them all alone and such and then around 9pm I wanted to soak him but when I picked him up he was so limp but breathing. I thought OHH GOD NO!!! So I soaked him for a few and he was getting ready to shed. I picked him up and held him for awhile. He was moving around my hands but he just was not the same and still sluggish so I thought maybe its the weather since it was and STILL is snowing HARD. Well woke up this morning and checked up on him and he passed on. I was really starting to get attached to him. UGH :(:( I wish I knew why he died. Dunno if it was the mites or he was just sick before and didnt know... RIP little buddy I sure will miss you TONS :(:(

[Hornets23]

[Garter_Gertie]

Oh, Audrea... I wish, wish, wish I could make it better. I'm so sorry for what you're having to go through.

I am so sorry to hear this... :(

But I have to ask. What did she use as mite treatment?

[reptile3]

I am so sorry to hear this... :(

But I have to ask. What did she use as mite treatment?

I believe she used this
JurassiMite™ Mite, Flea & Tick Control for Reptiles - Supplements & Medications - Reptile - PetSmart (http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2754867)

or this one
Zoo Med Mite Off at PETCO (http://www.petco.com/product/105902/Zoo-Med-Mite-Off.aspx)


Not sure which one, but she did alot of soaking the snake in a deli cup.

[GartersRock]

Ah, well good that she used something natural. Can't be that then. If she had used the "norm" mite stuff. I would have suspected that. I would never use poison mite spray.

Well... Once again. I am so sad about the little guys passing. :( Wish we knew what caused it. :(:(

[jitami]

So so sorry Aundrea :( I'm inclined to think he was unhealthy when he arrived :(
