Overdue Hello

Greets all. Think I actually registered with ssnakess some time in March - and of course just now dropping in. Unfortunately with not so great news either. Had to euthanize my my 4.5 yr old Chinese Water Dragon yesterday. Apparently he was suffering from severe kidney disease. Been keeping herps all my life, and you think you have things down, know how to house them, care for them, feed them, etc. but things still go wrong. Sad and disappointing, but we were glad that we made the discovery instead of watching him waste away over another 6 months. Hope everyones elses critters are happy and healthy. Look forward to meeting you on the boards.
