On a better note, Deejay seems to be perking up from her little ordeal. Or should I not say that lest some new disaster befalls me?

The real probleme is that it happen to me ,to deejay to my friends garter...and no one can explain about it ,i want to know whats the cause of this infection(abscess).damn maybe its food,habitat or everything else nobody know ...One thing for sure every year I caught as many as 1000 garter in wild and i never see this kinda infection on wild one.

I think its because of captive condition...The a real phenomena as many other.Im pissed off too ...

[anji1971]

Stitch was a wild caught snake, but not a garter. I haven't kept enough to make a comparison between wild and captive and the number of infections like this. It would be nice to know what caused it, too.

No more bad news, please!

Oh no, I hope hope hope he starts to improve Anji... I'm so sorry!!

[anji1971]

He looks a little more alert at the moment. What a funny little guy -- half dead in the morning and holding his head up this evening. I really don't know what to expect from him anymore. I'm just going to sit here and drink several bottles of Vex Hard Peach Raspberry Lemonade, and let the snake do what he will.

[anji1971]

Stitch is gone.
He held up his head for a few hours last night, looking around. I'm allowing myself to think he was saying good-bye. Then, around 10pm he started going into heavy convulsions. He passed on shortly after.
We buried him in the garden, among the tulips.

So sorry Anji. Its sad for you .
