Somewhere in my bedroom and now I have to sleep on my couch. I wonder if I have mice in my walls?

That happened to my parents a few months ago. They ended up tearing down a **** load of sheetrock before they found a group of dead mice. Good luck to you!!!

Things die all the time.

If you want to hide the smell, through PBR at the walls and carpet. That stuff gets a nice ordor after a while.

don\'t you have a snake? let him loose in the wall. Get rid of the smell + you wont have to feed him that day. win win.

Snakes usually don\'t eat dead stuff.

Well, it turns out that is was Jeffrey Goldblum that died. I went to mist down his tank and discovered he died. He threw up last week after eating, which I was a little worried about but not terribly, because that does happen sometimes. I guess it was indicative of something serious going on. Maybe I should have paid more attention.

Well, sometimes my MySpace is dedicated to JG, the actor, and my snake is named after him. (Don\'t ask.)

Anyhow, thanks guys.

There is a big reptile expo in NH in April. I could get a new snake I suppose, and maybe name him The Fly, but I don\'t know, that might be disrespectful to Jeffrey.

aww. im so sorry. snakes are wonderful animals.

I understand how you could have not noticed. fezzig stays in his hide for days at a time.

That sucks, Joc.

Puking in boas is not all that uncommon and could have easilt been casued by too large of a meal, or getting too hot or cold after a meal.

Good luck finding a replacement.

Yeah... I am not sure what caused it. He had the same size mouse that he always eats, and I have thermometers and a thermostat in his tank, and everything is on timers, so I don\'t know what would have caused a temperature swing in his tank. Who knows.

There is a big reptile expo on Saturday in Manchester. I\'m going to go poke around, but I\'m not sure if I want to get anyone. I would like another Dumeril\'s Boa, since they\'re beautiful, easy to tame, and a nice size, but I don\'t know....

Maybe I should just get a corn snake. heh. No.
