This morning i noticed that his gums and tounge were a bit blue, he was breathing fine so i knew it may be his heart. i put him on his bridge, which actually is supposed to help. he kissed at me adjusted to get comfy, and closed his eyes. He was shifting about on his bridge until 5-10 minutes after the three elementary siblings left for school. I saw him in a corner and reached in to move him and noticed he was very limp. I did all of the things to try and rouse him but nothing worked. my daughter listened to his chest for me and nothing...i even put him back in his tank to see if it was a deep brumation incident. he was still not moving or breathing so i knew he was dead.... the best guess i have is that his heart stopped due to his body trying to go into brumation (i was feeding him regularly and not allowing brumation due to his need to recover) but his heart was too weak for the sudden slow down and shut down of certain functions. I have read in a few places of them having heart attacks due to sudden brumation or forced brumation (the brain forces it not the mommy or daddy). i have a heart condition so i know what blue gums and tounge can indicate. He pretty much had a heart attack and died and i freaked out a bit because there was nothing i could do.
My daughter donated her umbro cleat box for a little coffin, a red velvet cloth to line it and a bit of perfume. I placed him in there with his fave poop emoji (pink) and his creepy kitty. my daughter moved his arm over his kitty and taped hearts on top once the box was sealed around the top edge. we worked together to dig the hole and burry him. I plan on erecting a tree ring (raised planting ring for a tree) of bricks on top of the spot and putting his name on one of the bricks on top of the ring. he will have a nice japanese plum tree growing over him.
