Sorry to hear about your losses. It's always tough to lose a pet then you have to deal with the guilt of possible husbandry issues. Unfortunately it may or may not have been attributed to the feeders. Someone else posted that a dead feeder given as food caused the death of their crocodilian. But others seem to use feeders without incident. I have been a python/boa keeper for years and am considering purchasing a dwarf caimen but will certainly research care and habitat maintenance thoroughly first.

Your post is about 2 months old. Did you happen to get any more insight as to what could have caused it?







>>the second one didnt make it either. poor lil guys. well i guess some lessons in this hobby are learned the hard way. i wish that i would had known about something as simple as not to feed "feeder" gold fish to reptiles.
