The heartache of breeding candoia...

I just read through the thread... I'm so very sorry to read about this, Elle. I'm hoping for the best for you and your dear little Candoia. Hugs, well wishes and good thoughs from me to you.
 
Elle, havent you been through enough already?
I just don't know what to say....I'm so sorry......
 
I am sorry about the little ones, Elle. Hopefully she will pull through this. Maybe this is the last of your troubles for the year?
 
I don't know you and you don't know me, but that doesn't change the fact that I am sooo sorry to hear about this. Those pictures break my heart. I can't even begin to imagine how you must have felt. And I'm not even going to begin to comment on such insensitive, useless advice given... no, no, not going into it any more than that. I will say that reading this thread I went from sad to angry to sad/angry/frustrated. I'm sure you're feeling that tenfold.

Through whatever forces that exist in the universe, I've found that the "everything happens in threes" idea is frighteningly consistent. Under that pretense, I'd say you've had more than your fair share of three terrible experiences. As devastating as they are, I hope that in the end they are just paving way to many many good times to come.
 
Elle - I am so sorry to read about this. I know how much you love your snakes and all the trials and tribulations that have already been thrown at you this year. You are stronger than I am as I am sure I would have already given up. I commend you for doing all you can for every single one of your snakes - going above and beyond to make sure you provide them with the best possible care. Luv ya girlie and I am thinking about you....
 
I am so sorry... Because of your snakes, I've started falling in love with candoia. This must have been so heartbreaking to see. :(

But I do believe (and I really mean this) that years from now you will be breeding them successfully.

Hang in there.
 
Damn Elle.

You have had enough bad luck. When is it gonna stop?

I am very sorry and hope your girl eats soon *hugs*
 
Elle, I am late to read this, but in response to the original post/topic, I am very very sorry to hear of this. Hope the mommy makes it.
 
Wow, Elle.. I'm so Sorry! I wouldn't know what to do. I really hope those anoles work and she makes it..
 
I don't know you, but I did want to add my condolences on the babies and my hopes that mom pulls through. All the best.
 
Elle, I am sorry you lost your babies. I know how rough it can be. Between your's and Robbie's litters, seems this just isn't the year for boa babies. I wish Mama a swift recovery, and send happy little thoughts her way.

I saw this early this morning, and didn't know what to say. I still don't.

Elle, I'm sorry you have to go through this.

From reading the forums I know you take better care of your animals than most, and this is must be a hard pill to swallow. Strongs to you, and remember that things will eventually turn around. They always do.

Please keep us posted on the mom's progress.
 
Thanks for all the support guys. Lunar has passed her first tube feed, so on to the second one tonight if she doesn't eat when offered. Looking a wee bit more hydrated today and slightly more responsive.
