Very sorry to hear the bad news. I agree with James on the scales and the change in coloration is quite normal when a Garter dies.

Bummer, Natalie! So sorry for your loss. That hole is so odd. :-(

Elliot · 01-11-2008, 02:49 PM

yeah we laded him to rest by my little dog Panda Bear and my cat Max.. I feel soo unnerved right now.. it's like i wish i could have done something to stop this but like i said he was ok the day before so what ever happen, happened really fast..

The hole reminds me of a parasite that aquarium fish can get, which eats its way out from the inside of the fish.

Since garters eat fish sometimes, I wonder...

Charlet_2007 · 01-11-2008, 05:14 PM

well this snake ate toads.. i couldnt get it to eat anything else..

but it might have.. i don't know tho i wanted to take it to the vet but its layed to rest now..

KITKAT · 01-11-2008, 08:01 PM

Well, I know how bummed you are, and I am sorry for your loss...

I am pretty bummed now too, because Trinity (red sided garter female baby) is still missing, and it has been a couple of weeks now.

There is an up side to keeping pets, and a down side... and any time you keep a pet, you will experience both at times.

Charlet_2007 · 01-11-2008, 10:03 PM

yeah at least theres still hope for yours tho... mine is no more..

I'm so sorry, Natalie
I've had snakes die unexpectedly and it's awful
that hole does look like something caused by a parasite
it looks so defined
if it was caused by the festering of an internal injury, I think it would look messier
