Re: RIP Xena
No idea whatsoever!!! ... She's been eating like a horse and has been every bit the perfect garter. They're all thriving
.... absolutely gutted.

Re: RIP Xena
I've said it many times on the forum. "They are tough as nail" That being said, we know so little. There are so many enviromental things we take care of and hope for the best. I've always wondered how many of these unexplained deaths are caused by genetic problems. Things caused by inbreeding and weak genes.

It's nice you have Panama, for some comfort. Hope you get your camera problem taken care of soon. Looking forward to some other photos. Have a good day.
