Re: Sad News.....

Kinda bummed out, a few days ago I found one of my prize BRB's, Fluffy, had passed away. For the last year or so he has not been doing great, lost some weight and not as active as he used to be. Vet found nothing wrong with him and we both suspected he was simply aging. I've had him 5 years, Brian Sharp had him for a number of years (I suspect more than 5) Since Brian acquired him as an adult that would put him at least 15 years old and possibly more.

I was hoping he'd at least make it through breeding season and impregnate one of my holdback Calico offspring but I never saw any action between them. That female will be isolated just in case he managed to do the deed while I wasn't watching.


The bright side is he did sire three litters of babies so if the trait is genetic the genes are not lost, just hidden for a while.

I am so sorry for your loss He was a gorgeous, gorgeous snake. At least some of him lives on in his babies, and hopefully there is one last litter on the way. Rest in Peace Fluffy.
