Sad news.....

rainbowsrus Jun 25, 2009 10:50 AM

You may remember the story of Lazarus, my striped male and his sister Azalia that both arrived basically lifeless and were revived by gentle warming cupped in my hands. Lazarus never did well afterwards. Was a very finicky eater and most times would not eat. Two days ago I found him passed away in his tub. So sad to have lost him, even more so in that I feel I saved him at the time but was unable to ultimately save him. Good news is the breeder is going to replace him when he has another striped male, some in the oven now. And his sister has done fine, no problems with her at all.

Hey,

I am sorry for your loss. I know all my animals are like children to me and very few people outside our selves could ever understand what losing a snake could feel like. You are a great guy and one day I know you be breeding new ones for others to enjoy. You are a great guy and a real genuine good breeder for our passion of raising and breeding reptiles.

Sincerely,
Mark

Still, he was a handsome snake. I know that you miss him. I am always saddened by the passing of any snake.
