R.I.P. Magma

[infernalis]

I am still stunned right now, mixed between P.O. and sad all at once.

Went in to feed the babies, and Magma was expired on the floor of his enclosure. Looked as if he was sleeping, not upside down or anything like that.

I tried to move him, and rigor had already set in......

ok now it's hitting home, gotta go....

Bye little dude..

[Stefan-A]

Damn. Sorry for your loss, Wayne.

[ssssnakeluvr]

that sucks! sorry for your loss!!!!

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

oh my gosh...... wayne

That is terrible. do you have any idea what may have happened?

Once, one of my trio of anery radix's from scott was laying there, jsut like it was sleeping, and I thought it was dead... well, i picked it up and realized it was jsut barely there .. I started to massage the snakes chest and throat and it gasped for air all the sudden as if it had choked... and it "came back" to life.

Not trying to bring you down here, just this ordeal reminded me of when that happened. Anything that he may have choked on Wayne?

I am so sorry to hear this. I and probably everyone else here could tell how fond you were of Magma and how much you loved the little guy

I almost want to cry right now

[GartersRock]

Oh... Wow... I am stunned... Soo, soo sorry for your loss..... =(

[infernalis]

Sick to my stomach,

77 degrees, fresh water, clean aspen, ????? good eater.. spunky little dude.

NO handling, only at feeding time. locked in the reptile room away from stress, and kids... what a slap in the face.

Not only was he my pride and joy, but this flushes the whole albino flame thing caput.

Magma was from Scott's litter that produced his albino flame, he was to be paired up with my snow eastern.

Shannon, no bringing this one back, stiff as a board...

He was fine this afternoon, whatever it was, I will never know. he will be buried out back in the meadow tomorrow.

I have isolated and quarantined his tank mates, if something made him sick, I don't need it spreading throughout all my morph collection.

[zooplan]

I feel with you,Wayne.
That´s the hardest thing.
If you can´t even guess why it´s doubling the pain

[GartersRock]

Uh... I feel sick...
This is just what happened when I lost those 4 snakes 4 weeks ago!
No explanation. Just feeling sick to your stomach and you can't do anything about it.

Wow Wayne... Oh, I feel for you... Uh...

It passes a good deal when it sets in that it is in the past and there is nothing you can do but try again.

*sigh*

Hope things turn around Wayne!
