My female pickeringii, 'Rei', affectionately known as Lumpy, passed away today.
Over the last month she stopped eating. When it seemed to get serious, I resorted to force feeding. I moved her into a warmer hospital tank and thought she was getting better, but found she had regurgitated her food. after that she went down hill fast. She passed away peacefully this morning.

Before she stopped eating she had a difficult shed, it was comming off in pieces and I had to assist her for 5 days untill it was all off. Maybe that was an early indication that something was wrong.

Im confused, I dont know why she got sick. She has always eaten the same things my other garters ate, and was living in the same tank as them. I just hope its not contagious what ever it was.
