last night, dad went to offer Lilly a few superworms. he found her under one of her bathing stones where she had tunneled under and suffocated.

i know things happen. I know its nothing new. two deaths so soon is hard to bear.. I have to have a surgical procedure today and I'm in a lot of shock over Lilly. i have 90% of my all concenrated on my physical body at the time, the remaining 10 for Raptor and my dog.

at this moment I am done with collareds. i love em, they are gorgeous, but i'm at my wits' end. and to think I'm still in shock, i haven't grieved and I still feel morbid...

i may be back. i may not. i simply do not know.

thanks guys for helping, especially Eve, iguanabelikejesus and Johne.

it was a fun ride while it lasted. good day.

I had the exact thing happen earlier this year. One of my collareds somehow suffocated under a rock too. My rock was sitting on the bottom of the glass, and the lizards would often sleep under there. I think he was nearing the size where he could no longer squeeze under, but took a deep breath, and went under, only to find himself stuck. I was bummed out too.

Best of luck with the surgical procedure.
