Puget girl, dead.

That's so sad, she was a real nice one. Sorry for your loss

So sorry for your loss James, she was a stunner!

I found how the poor thing got into the light fitting...... one of the plastic thumb-turns that secues the front plate to the strip light case had sheared through and fallen out, leaving a hole thicker than a pencil.



Here's how it should look.



It's no real consolation, because she's still dead, but at least I don't feel so guilty now thinking that I'd left an entry point unsealed.

waaa sad story sad sad sad...i know what ur going through...before i had checker i had a little flathead snake named dusty ... it was my first pet...one morning i played with him and put him back in his tank and a few hours later i found him dead...the area around the anal plate was green...it looked like an internal problem...just a few days earlier i noticed him slowing down but my parents didnt want to take him to the vet...but he was also 9 or 10 inches when he died which is very big for its species... he was an old snake when i caught him(3 or 4 months earlier) and he grew a few cm...RIP all thees wonderfull creatures even the coachwhips my uncles neighboors killed because they were becoming a hazard
