Okay, so get this, my favorite garter snake in my entire collection, (besides of course the hypo), my smokin male flame from Scott, was found dead this morning in his enclosure. He was just all neatly curled up in the corner of the tank, but he was dead. I'm speechless. Disgusted... sick to my stomach. He had just shed yesterday and was fine when I shut out the lights last night. The two girls look totally fine, lounging under the basking light. But now I have this insane irrational fear that they will drop dead too. It still does not feel real that I bagged up Orangetime this morning. I hope hes having a good time with Magma up in snake heaven. Wayne, now I REALLY know your pain.
