RIP Cate (dialup warning)

Yesterday was my 27th birthday. I awoke to find Cate - my "perfect" female Surinam - freshly shed & looking AWESOME - what a great start to the day!

When we returned home last night I stopped in the snake room to show a friend how wonderful Cate looks after a shed, and to my horror she was dead. I'm awaiting necropsy reports and very much in a state of shock right now...Cate, her brother “Tango” & my blackheaded python are the three favorite snakes in my collection...

Cate 11/99


Cate 02/00


Cate 05/00

Cate 11/00

Cate 11/01


September 23, 2003...RIP "Catey Face"




"These Are Days" (10,000 Maniacs)
These are days you'll remember.
Never before and never since, I promise,
will the whole world be warm as this.
And as you feel it, you'll know it's true that you are blessed and lucky.
It's true that you are touched by something that will grow and bloom in you.

These are days you'll remember.
When May is rushing over you with desire
To be part of the miracles you see in every hour.
You'll know it's true that you are blessed and lucky.
It's true that you are touched by something that will grow and bloom in you.

These are days.

These are the days you might fill with laughter until you break.
These days you might feel a shaft of light make its way across your face.
And when you do you'll know how it was meant to be.
See the signs and know their meaning.
It's true, you'll know how it was meant to be.
Hear the signs and know they're speaking to you, to you.


With a heavy heart...

K

I'm so sorry, she was such a beautiful snake but I am sure it was not your fault because she was obviously a healthy looking snake,
and I'm sure you had no clue

Once again I'm very sorry for you and Cate,

John

Yikes! that sucks Kara...she was a beauty...I wonder why snakes always seem to shed just before they die on us? I've had that happen a few times. It's weird...anyway...sorry for your loss. I know she will be missed.

Wow, she was beautiful. I'm really sorry that she's gone . Keep us posted on the necropsy results. What a strange story.

Thanks for the kind words everyone (even you Brett). This has easily been the roughest week of my herpkeeping career...I can't think of another time when I've cried so much over ANYTHING, or lost so much sleep. I guess I just feel like there's a certain light that's gone out in the world, and my snake room is a dimmer place because of it.

What a bummer. She was a beautiful snake. Very pink as an adult. Losing one you raised from a baby is always hard. I'd like to know what caused this in what appears to be a perfectly healthy snake.

I think what BoaMan meant is that it's strange she shed, then up and died for no apparent reason, like Julius said.
