I found my little Luna limp and lifeless in the vivarium this morning. There had been no warning, no signs of illness. In fact she ate happily a few days ago, was slithering busily around and watched me curiously when I came up to the glass only yesterday.

Do you remember me telling you of the surprise litter we had last year? We only had 3 survivors of 11, the others were all stillborn. Then our cats managed to knock down the starter tank and we found one of the babies at the bottom of the stairs after a day or so, but sadly it was injured and died soon after. Luna made a sudden appearance in my son's room a few days later, perfectly fine, and the last baby was found in my garden 2 or 3 months later, it had not long been dead.

What a sad fate they all met!
