[bob_thesnowman]

hey all,i'm fairly new to this forum,not new to the world of herps,i
experienced my first loss today,powder one of my blizzard phase leopards died
i don't even know why or how,he was the biggest of all 4 and i
didn't even know he was sick,i found him dead in his hidebox 5
minutes ago,already starting to decompose,it was so sad to see
him just lay there,he just ate yesterday....i guess these things
happen...but i didn't think it'd happen to any of mine :(

So sorry for your loss :( It's always tough when they die, especially when it's unexpected...

Welcome to the site though!

thanks...i appreciate it,it's hard to believe something so tiny and
fragile could have and impact so hard on me,i really just can't
believe it,he was fine yesterday,and today i find him decomposing
in a pile of dirt...:(

I'm sorry to hear of your loss, Bob. I recently had a loss of my own, so I know how you feel. Perhaps, as a precaution, you should take the rest of your geckos to the vet for fecals. You want to make sure they don't have what the deceased one died of. Good luck, and welcome to sSnakeSs!
