Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I just went upstairs to find that Iris had passed away.

I would like to thank everyone who has been asking about her and who have been supportive of me over the past couple months. Thank you all.

My condolences My Frankie (the one with blood in stool/strongyle worms) died 2 weeks ago as well. We all do try hard for these little ones, but sometimes it's even beyond our help. At least know that you tried your best and gave her great care!

I'm so sorry to hear that Frankie died. I'm sorry for your loss as well.

It seems as though the past 2 weeks have been very rough on Nikon, you and myself.

I mean that from the top to the bottom of my heart. I understand how darn sad it is believe me.
You know from reading the beardies forum I just lost my Auggie last week also. And you left such nice words for me.

It feels really bad when they leave , after trying our very hardest to heal them, but knowing there fine now, and playing with others having a wonderful lizardy time, somehow makes it bearable.

Take care, You were an awesome mommy

Thanks. This has to be the worst month for uro's, beardeds and leopard gecko's ever.

There have been 3 uromastyx loss' this month (I think that's the right number) you lost your Auggie and I think someone else on the bearded forum lost theres and then about 5 or 6 leopard gecko's have been reported dead or dying on that forum.

At least we can all take comfort in the fact that they are all up in reptilian heaven having the time of their (after)lives.

would like to think they are in heaven, the same heaven we will go to one day, Figure God made the creatures, and he cares about them , and knows how special they all are to us.

He would never seperate us forever from our pets we loved so much !

I mean it in the way that they first go to reptile heaven, then once we pass away he will take them from where they are now and give them back to us. He just keeps them there now so they do not get lonely while they wait for us to come and play with them.

I thought if you waited to go to heaven you were in purgatory?

It must be different for animals (lucky little things).

Thanks, both of you.

I think I'm gonna back down from getting any saharans for awhile, maybe about another year or so, and if I do eventually get another, I'll make sure I personally drive to pick it up and take it home the same day.

But in the meantime I'm just going to spend more time with the uro, bearded and leopard gecko I already have just because I've seen how fast a loved pet can go from happy to heaven.

I haven't been on in a few days, so please accept my belated condolences. You did the best you could do for her and she was lucky to have such a caring Mom. It seems sad that these beautiful Saharans seem to have the most problems. Of all my friends who have uros, the only ones that have passed away have been the Saharans. The only ones I have lost have been Saharans. There must be something that we don't know about. An acquaintance of mine was looking into a blood parasite that was not being detected in the Saharans called microfilarie, similar to heartworm in dogs. He has since moved so I never heard any more about his findings or if they had any basis. Best of luck to you, perhaps we will know more in the future.
