Damn, I lost one too. She was upside down in her viv.

Sucks..

Thanks for satisfying my curiosity.

Merry ****ing Christmas.

OMG... not sure how I missed this post... I can't believe our members have lost so many snakes in the last few days.

I'm so so sorry Stefan!!!

No problem.

This one wasn't upside down, but I noticed she hadn't moved at all for about an hour, so I had a closer look. She's currently occupying a ziploc bag in my freezer, haven't figured out what to do with her yet.

Thanks. You too, Kyle and Don.

They were probably all part of some garter suicide cult.

hopefully the leader committed suicide also so no other followers will join....

I have seven in the freezer, we bury them when the ground loosens up.

No exam will bring them back.

The 2 blacknecks, I know what happened, they starved to death. (One ate and regurged then died)

The Hypermel Wandering, some very painful attack, I could tell by the thrashing.

and the Florida blues dehydrated (Under a full water bowl)

The red sided, I'm clueless, but I had 4 from that same litter just croak for no apparent reason. (one after it was delivered to the new owner)

They were probably all part of some garter suicide cult.

So that is what the kool aid was in the water bowl!

This all sucks beyond words...

Chances are that not all of it will be buried, there are a few things I'd like to have a closer look at. I'd like to examine it myself (well, as much as I can), but I won't have access to a proper microscope for a few weeks, so freezing it was the only option and sadly freezing would have killed off many of the parasites it may have carried. I say "sadly", because they are much easier to spot while they're still alive.

Some day I'd like to buy a microscope of my own.

Knowing full well that due to sheer numbers, Death is going to be a part of my life here, like it or not.
