R.I.P. Simon

I woke up this morning and Simon was curled in the middle of his tank, which was unusual because he always hides. I was worried because he's gotten so skinny over the last few weeks - backbone showing, and skin folds. But he had had two regurges, ate two half-pinkies a week apart, then refused five meals in a row. There wasn't much else I could do. I'd tried everything... he was never really healthy. It was frustrating.

I came home this evening and he was rolled over sideways, but when I picked him up he was still moving a little. I wanted to give him another chance, but every time I left him alone for more than a few minutes he was on his side with his head rolled back again.

I just put him in the freezer for a long nap.... I hate to see him go, but I hated seeing him suffering, too. I hope I did the right thing.

Sorry for your loss

You did. There no sense prolonging his suffering.

Sorry to hear. That must have been a tough call to make, to put him in the freezer but i think you made the right choice.

So sorry to hear about this. But take heart in knowing that you did the right thing.

I am so sorry for you and Simon. I hope that if I ever have to face anything like this I can be as strong as you and make the right decision. His suffering is over and he is slithering safely through the leaves as we speak!
