well guys most of you know I got a berber skink on dec. 27th who had "something in his eye" well at 8:00 I came in to find a deceased skink and post rigamortis had set in so he had been dead a few hours, my suspicions are that he had an upper respitory infection or pnemonia. I had set a date for the vet on wed. morning for tmmr but I was too late
the only good thing I can say is he died in his favorite place, he had his tail and back leg buried in the sand with his little feet soaking in his water dish

this has to be the worst birthday ever and start to a new year! I feel as tho this is my fault and I have this terrible feeling in my gut that is telling me that I have been a wrongful person... I just feel like ***** and that any minute now god is god and budah and jesus and any other gods will come down and smite me for killing this little guy
my goodness I havnt felt this bad since my hamster died or when I found one of my kittens dead
plus on another note my grandmother of 87 years had a heart attack yesterday! like seriously!!!!! I am not having a good day

So in all respects Rapheal Mcandrew may you rest in peace little man:cry::cry::rip:cry::cry:
 
thats horrible. the important thing is that you had set up a vet apointment. most people wouldnt even do that.

sorry to hear about your grandmother. how is she now?
 
wow that sucks, it was a really nice skink. same thing happened to my cousins a couple days before christmas, a coyote took a couple chickens and their grandmother got an inoperable brain tumor so i understand the pain. you didnt have him for long can you get a refund?
 
I proly can't get a refund but I could maby get some credit on something since he knows I'm not some stupid impulse buyer
 
Simply horrible, so sorry for both your granma and your skink:( But is really very comon with this guys that something its wrong with them, simply because they are all wild cauth in north africa and shiped all over the world in often very bad condicions. If you want to try them again make shure that you get a long term captive one from like a rescue. Sujestion: because they are so rare to find as cb, if you like them why dont you dedicate part of your hobbist time into putting thogether a nice group and try to breed them?;)
 
well I would love to breed them but if you guys don't know reptiles are a lot more pricy up here and this guy cost me 80 so if I breed anything it will be either geckos beardies or blue tounges
 
Sorry your going through a bad time at the mo :(


I've never seen some one put down in words how much they care for their animals..
I think thats more than enough, and I doubt the gods are coming down after you..but if they do put on your running shoes man :ROFL:


Seriously, even if it was any of your fault, we all make mistakes. And it might not have been any of your fault in the first place.
I hope your grandmother is okay.
:) x
 
sorry about ur fish and ur grandmum:(
you have my condolences
 
fish? my fish are fine my skink died who is a reptile not a fish
and good news with my grandma, she unfortunatly did have a heart attack and there was a little damage but nothing serious but also on another note she lived 87 years and most people nowadays are lucky to live past 75 so if worst comes to worst we all know she had a long happy life
