Snakes

Because I'm so much faster at it than Jon, I've taken over most of the care and feeding of our combined collection of reptiles. When I check on the guys in our converted laundry room, I make a point of checking on one of the newer arrivals, a female Baird's rat snake we got in September, that was just too skinny for her own good. We had taken her in to the vet for a check up a couple days ago and got her some deworming medicine. I don't know if the stress of administering the medicine was too much for her or if it was something else but when I went to check on her yesterday, I found that she had died sometime in the night. The vet was optimistic about her recovery so her death came as a surprise to us. Jon has covered it in more detail on his blog here.
