Weekend home with some sad news

Melisondra Jun 04, 2006 05:59 PM

I haven't posted here for awhile but I figured I should update. Knox and Gene are still going strong and are coming to live with me at the end of the summer. (finally got an apartment with the room!)
I ended up coming home for the weekend for my cousin's graduation and found out Alis, my little rescue veiled passed away. They said she was fine the day before when they fed her, and when they went to fill her dripper the next day she was laying on her side in the back corner of the cage. Still not sure what happened but im wondering if she maybe lost her grip and fell off her basking branch or something. I figure we gave her an extra year and a half she wouldnt have had at the petstore where I rescued her from. (Petstore gave her to me last spring break to nurse back to health, she was very tiny and had alot of MBD probs etc) At full grown she was probably about 3 inches long.
My mother is already suggesting another one, but I think ive reached my cham limit for the moment Hope everyone else is doing well with all their babies!

Hi Erin,

Sorry to hear about Alis But as you said, she had some extra time and with a good mom (and family!).

Glad Gene and Knox (not sure I knew you named Knox) are doing well and going to live with you! you must be psyched. When are you finished with school - must be soon!
