I'm sorry for your loss man, I have lost quite a few reptiles in 2010 myself. This is a bad year for sure, Just in the past month, 3 people I work with have lost parents, and more have ended up in the hospital. I'm sure all of this is just coincidence, but it is weird.

I'm really sorry for your loss. We lost our unproved female Blue Tegu a couple of months ago. It just laid down and died in the shade outside.

Thanks everyone, my condolences to any and everyone who has lost something recently (living or not). Its always hard when you lose something you care about. Losing more than one at a time takes it to another level.

Reptastic, Powder and Achilles are fine. My sister is keeping Achilles and Powder is boarding at my job for a while.

To have loved and then said farewell is better than to have never loved at all.
For all of the times that you stooped and touched my head, fed me my favorite treat and
returned the love that I so unconditionally gave to you. For the care that you gave to me
so unselfishly. For all of these things I am grateful and thankful. I ask that you grieve
not for the loss but rejoice in the fact that we lived, loved and touched each other's lives.
My life was fuller because you were there, not as owner, but as my friend. Today, I am
as I was in my youth. The grass is always green, butterflies flit among fthe flowers and
the sun shines gently down upon all of God's creatures. I can run, jump and play
and do all of the things that I did in my youth. There is no sickness, no aching joints
and no regrets and no aging. We await the arrival of our lifelong companions and know
that togetherness is forever. You live in our hearts as we do in yours. Companions such
as you are very rare and unique. Don't hold the love that you have within yourself.
Give it to another like me and then I will live forever. For love never really dies,
and you are loved and missed as surely as we are.

Your pet in heaven
