I guess the ant bites affected her worse than I had thought. I cleaned up the bites on her foot and tail and left her alone for the day in her own cage. I suppose cause she was so little that it wasn't enough,
I went to check up on her to see how she was doing and she was already gone. She dropped her tail all the way at the base of it. It confuses me so much.
The whole ordeal depresses me. Aside from the two I had to down (born with eye/body deformities and needed to be put down as they couldn't eat), I've only lost one other leo in the past.(A patternless with Liver failure)
I suppose that it's a pretty good thing as I've been keeping these wonderfull little guys for almost two years.It stilldoes bother me that something like this had to happen.
Now I know to keep an eye out for even something as simple as an ant in the room. I suppose this is a good warning to everyone out there that little black ants are more of a threat then they seem to be at first.
However the ant poison I was pointed to (MaxForce) works great, so I hope to bever have this problem again.
Sorry for the rant...thanks for letting me vent a bit guys.
