Hey again! I forgot to mention that she lays eggs very often. Her second most recent batch was abnormal and she shook her tail a lot. The most recent one was normal but I’m afraid that the previous batch could’ve left a stray egg. Do you think it could’ve poisoned her system over time? So sorry...

Oh I had no idea, we’ve had these bulbs for six years. I doubt it’s the cause of her death but if I get another one in the long future I’ll know now. Thank you!

Now that I’m a bit more settled I remembered that she’s laid about 12 eggs last week. She often lays eggs and can sometimes become impacted. Could she have had one stuck and infect her belly?

Neither. They’re both bulbs in reflective domes. I can take a picture of her terrarium if you’d like.

Yes UVB, and both are bulbs.

Thank you so much. I’m quite frustrated that they haven’t, even after her passing I’d like to know the exact reason. But it’s over now, and you guys are here to help me out. Reptisun- Zoo Med - 150 WATT and 50 WATT

I’m not exactly sure, I’m planning on calling later once I’m a little more calm. From what I could see her body was releasing (with no pushing) waste. She was so weak and pale and her eyes had no color. She was a professional exotic vet.

They didn’t get a blood test sadly. I insisted that they did but they said that it would take a week for it to be back and she would be suffering.

The vet said that she wasn’t sure exactly what happened, just said that her body is shutting down. Maybe I could do a follow up call. I don’t know how fast tail rot travels but it was two weeks. I’m heartbroken and feel terribly guilty if there was anything I could’ve done. I tried to get her...

That means a lot, thank you so much! Thank you also for being so helpful through the process.

Do you think it could’ve been the tail rot? It’s only been like that for two weeks.

They said her organs are failing and that she was trying to tell us that it’s time. When I saw her to say goodbye she didn’t even look like herself. She was so white and her eyes were colorless. She said that reptiles were good at hiding illness until it was too late. I can comprehend how this...

They just came back and her body is shutting down. I’m in tears right now and I don’t know how to handle this. I thought it was just tail rot. She’s been my girl for so long and now I have to say goodbye. Thank you guys for all your help and I’m sorry to say that this is what it’s come down to.

I’ll make sure they do! They just took her in. Thank you so much, I’ll update you guys soon!
