Wow that sucks. :( That was less than 10 minutes from your first post. I would be pretty pissed if it was the food.

Obviously, not a lot of pet lovers in here. Most of ATOT must be composed of multi-PHD, 23 hour a day work-a-holic, 200K/yr salaried, delusional jackasses. Wonder I thought different.

She doesn't think it's so sad.

LOL, yeah right. I'd take a rat as a pet anytime over a fucking snake. Snakes gotta be the lamest pet ever.

Au contraire, the more educated in the sciences have probably gotten an affinity for lab rats even as they do unspeakable things to them in experiments :D

The loss of pets you have grown emotionally attached to always sucks, a

No shit, a snake can't snuggle in your lap.

I got home from work today, and when I opened the cage to see if Minsc would eat anything if I fed it to him, he practically feel from the upper balcony into my hands. He sat in my lap while I stroked his back. After seeing how poor he looked, I can feel his back bone, he had porphrin rings around his eyes, and seemed really really weak. So I decided to call the vet to get him an appointment. While I was speaking to the vet, Minsc crawled to the side of my lap. Shortly before I hung up, he slid around behind my back. It didn't make me panic, he liked to crawl behind me normally, rats like to be covered up. After I hung up with the vet, I went to lift Minsc back up to my lap, only to find him completely limp. His mouth was hanging open with his eyes half open. His body sat in my lap and cooled while I called the vet back and canceled the appointment.

I'm going drinking saturday.

A snake can give you a neck massage though. ;)



Sucks to see your critters go like that. :(



(And yes, I do have a ball python, but he only gets fed pre-killed mice.)

OP, I'm relieved it wasn't your actual children because the title it's misleading. I'm sorry about your mice :(
