Lrrr has passed away
Hey everyone  Well.. this past day has been really hard for me
Last night at 5 am I heard a lot of noise coming from Lrrr's cage, so I checked on him
he was moving very strangely so I took him out to observe him. He continued to walk in a robotic/centipede type way and was opening his mouth gasping for air
I knew he wouldn't survive through the night so I wrapped him all tight in his favourite sponge bob blanket, and then I layed him on my chest
He was gasping for air, his lttle head was right by my face.. looking me in the eyes. He hugged his arms around my body and closed his eyes. I fell asleep shortly after
When I was woken up for school at 7:30.. he had passed
he lived a hard life, home to home and from bad conditions to worse. I changed that and gave him a life of luxury, I did everything I could to improve his life because of his past
But in the end, he died peacefully in my arms sleeping. I am so very thankful that I didn't just put him back in his cage.. I would have felt even worse
at least he spent his last moments with me, we had a connection so I know he didn't die alone or scared. He died in the comfort of my arms.. and thats something I will cherish forever
I am just destroyed over this.. I can't stop sobbing, and I just feel depressed
RIP Lrrr, I will love you forever
Thanks for reading

Re: Lrrr has passed away
so sorry to hear of your loss. But you gave him something no-one else did, comfort, love and respect. You made the last part of his life worth living.

Thank you, the times we had were very good. He would sleep with me for hours, and he would come with me around the house wherever I could take him. He did a ton of exploring in my house and outside
We enjoyed eachother's company and presence, and that's why his last moments on this planet with me were so special and important to me
RIP Lrrr, I will love you for eternity

Thank you very much, I could tell he was calmed by my comfort. As soon as I wrapped him in that blanket and layed him on my chest, he instantly relaxed, stopped trying to move and struggle around, and he even started gasp for air less
I genuinely feel that he knew what was happening, and he knew his best friend in life was there to comfort him. and thats exactly what happened, he died peacefully in my arms
That comforts me... It makes me feel like I did something special for him. in his last minutes I was there. and im very greatful for that.. I could have just fallen back asleep or whatever
Thanks for the support everyone, it means a lot to me

Re: Lrrr has passed away
That's why Sav's should not be sold so cheap and to people who have no idea how to properly care for these amazing creatures.

Re: Lrrr has passed away
Its also why I firmly believe people should have to pass tests in order to own exotics or any animals that has specific and special needs and requirements.
Its people like the op though that help the animals victim to these terrible situations and we need many more people like him.

Thanks for the kind words, I have always tried to help the unwanted or abused reptiles, my sav was a rescue. my macklots python was practically given to me for 50$ because of how aggressive and hard to deal with he is. and my leopard gecko Lily, was a rescue from a private gecko rescue
It makes me feel a lot better knowing I have other people who are right there with me. Ill be sure to get some photos (and maybe video.. but that would probably just be me crying uncontrollably) of his funeral up today.
I am planning on making a little cross out of wood and writing on it with a sharpie. If it ever fades, ill write it again. that way I can always visit him and read some good things about him
Thanks again
