Okay, so I know this is completely up to me regardless of what anyone says, but I’m just wanting to get some opinions because I’m starting to feel guilty for even considering this.
So anyways, Bee has recently passed away as I mentioned in a previous post. I’ve come to the conclusion that it was likely due to a seizure, as he did do some strange movement when I picked him up just before he went limp (stretching his front legs back in an odd fashion and opening his mouth weirdly), and I’ve watched some videos on it and some beardies who commonly have seizures seem to do the same thing. So luckily it probably wasn’t something that was my fault at least.
However, I spoke to the breeder I got him from, and she mentioned that she had a 1 1/2 year old male that she was looking to sell. I definitely would like to try again, and honestly an older one seems better as having to raise a baby is difficult as it is. But I feel like I’ll be replacing Bee, which isn’t the case but I just overthink a lot.
Regardless of that, I did say I’d be interested in him and already ordered a new UVB (it’s a long tube 18 in., can’t remember the brand right now), so I’ll probably be getting him anyways. I’m just kinda looking for some reassurance, as I’m sure most people feel this way after having lost a pet.
