Esther - I'm so sorry about your loss
what an awful day

[E&Asmom]

I had a day like that once. On the bus coming home from work I watch as a guy on a bike was plowed into by a speeding car. Then when I finaly got home my cats had smashed one of my grandmother crytal bowls on the floor cutting my lino flooring......and my foot!!!
The image with be with you for a while but it will fade. Sorry to hear about the loss of your snake.

Esther, omg, what awful things, both of them. I'm so so sorry about your snake. Lots of hugs from here.

[Garter_Gertie]

Oh, Esther. I wish I could console you. I wish there was something to say to make you feel better.

My heart's wrapped around you, breaking. My arms wrapped around you, too. I can't even begin to imagine the pain and loss of your beloved snake. And the loss on top of what you'd seen shopping.

Please know I do hurt for you. What little help that can be.

Thank you so very much, all of you! You are amazing.

My teenage son, who has Aspergers and thinks very logically, said to me: "Mum, you think YOU had a bad day...just think of the woman who actually fell down the escalator!" How true!

I feel very sad about Zuki, the garter and am now a little concerned about her friend, Zulu. I don't like bothering her at the moment as she is blue, but I did take her out yesterday to check on her and she sneezed a couple of times. I increased the temperature in the Viv after reading up on treatment. We don't have a vet with particular reptile experience close by, as I don't drive I'd have to take several buses and it is so cold out that I worry I'd do a lot more harm than good. Any suggestions?
