I lost my 05 male Motley last Thursday do to a heating issue. What sux is I was in the area a few hours before I actually went to check on them but decided to get my other running around out of the way first. I can't even explain the emotions I had when I saw the little guy like he was. I found him about 5:30pm and he held on barely breathing until 11:00pm that night. I had my friend thats a VET check him out but there was nothing that could've been done. I stayed with him the whole time until he made his last little movement and then I knew he had passed.



The thing that bothers me the most is, I feel like I could've prevented it if I had only gone by a few hours before. Another thing that sux is, I just moved him to that spot and actually spent a lot of time with him that night and I got to see how sweet and friendly he was. This past few days have been hard to deal with but I guess you gotta keep going and do what you need to do to make sure this NEVER happens again!



There was two others effected by the heat issue also. They are doing alot better but I don't know if they'll ever be 100% again. If not, they will be brought up as pets and never bred.



Thanks everyone for reading this. I wanted to let it out here cause none of my friends here(at home)like snakes so they can't really understand what i'm going through.

I'm so sorry little guy.
