A sad weekend

When I came back last night, there was again a very sad surprise for me. A few months back the same thing happened to my male cyrtopsis. My first female cyrtopsis died during the weekend. Again she ate fine on wednesday, she did not seem to have any problem. So Friday I left to visi my parents and she was dead when I returned last night. At least last year with the male I had noticed something was wrong. Even more stupid is that I thaught she was pregnant again...

This time I will not go for an autopsie, nothing came out of it last time, so I don't think there will be a difference this time.

As a tribute, a nice picture of her:


This certainly sucks to start the week with. And the stupidest thing is, she ate fine, there did not seem to be a problem and I have no clue whatsoever wat went wrong. This makes me think carefully if I'll keep continue to keep cyrtopsis...

Re: A sad weekend

Thanks for the reactions. The most frustrating thing is that I don't know why...

I might remeber incorrectly, but wasn't that particular snake misshapen?

Re: A sad weekend

When she was a couple of months, she developed a thick neck, literally. You can see it a bit in the picture. But I don't really think that this has something to do with it, she did not seem to have any problems because of it during the past years.

I'm so sorry for your lost. It can be very frustrating when everything seems fine and you are left wondering what went wrong.
