Fatal shed kills albino morph....(grrrrr)

I just found my Iowa Albino radix dead in his cage.

Poor little guy shed last night and somehow got trapped inside his inverted skin.

The head of the shed was at his tail and his head was jammed inside the old skin clear down at the tail tip, this suffocated the poor guy.

Weirdest death I have ever seen yet...

I only wish I could have noticed in time to get the skin off while he had a chance. yet another breeding project down the loo.

Aaaaaaaaaw mate! I`m really sorry to hear that! Aw bless him he looks like he`s gone into the tail end to have a look, got stuck and exhausted himself trying to get out. Is that about what you think happened? That is VERY unusual....

Bummer man, bad to lose any animal but in extreme circumstances is even worse.

Thinking of you,

Re: Fatal shed kills albino morph....(grrrrr)

i am really sorry that happened to the wee guy mate

i am in no way trivialising his death in what im about to say

but if someone told me oh did you hear about the snake that crawled back into its shed....

i would have put it down to more internet rubbish being spouted

that is a truely bizzare way to go wayne

i would never have believed it had it not come from your good self

its absoulutely nuts ...!!

cheers shaun

I know what you are saying Shaun, That's why I try and photograph anything that may seem extraordinary.

That is an odd way to go out. Sorry for your loss Wayne. I know I'd be devastated to wake up and find one of my snakes had passed during the night.

That's horrible. I came into my room one time and found my emperor scorpion dead. It had a stick in both claws jammed down it's throat. Looked like it choked itself to death...
