Was pulling up my snakes from hibernation last night and found my hold back female hypo coastal did not make it. She was fine about 10 days ago when I checked on everyone. To make matters worse I just sold the other female hold back! I HATE loosing any animal but one you have so much work into is doubly hard. When I had hundreds of animals it wasn't a surprise when one didn't make it through hibernation but now that I have such a small collection I haven't lost a snake in years. I guess I should be grateful for that.

Yeah, it definitely sucks big-time whenever you lose nice animals. Apparently Dell and Joe M. had the same horrible thing happen this year as well with some nice animals they both had.......weird!..

Sorry to hear about your loss Tony. Yeah, it seems to be a common theme this year. I look forward to this time every year, when everyone starts posting pics again and things get under way. This is the "not cool" part though. Better go check on all mine and cross my fingers. Sorry again man, those hypo's are sweet looking too.
