Really upset today. Home for the weekend, and I went to my mums to find my bosc monitor had passed away :( He'd only just turned two years old. Not sure why he died :( Just hope he's gone to reptile heaven where he can be happy.



Miss him so much already :(

Sorry to hear about your pet. They become like members of the family. Everyone says that but they do dont they.
 
Sorry to hear about your pet Blazey, not sure what a normal lifespan is for one of those is or if its affected in any way by being kept as a pet, not natural for reptiles, sure you'll miss him for a while pets do become part of the family
 
Thanks, yeh Don was like a member of our family, we celebrated his birthday (august 16th) and everything. Just wish he was still here :(

He shouldve lived the same amount of time as a dog. Its not really normal to keep any pet, and he lived in more of a natural habitat than what dogs and cats do. As for birds, well having their wings clipped so they cant fly and keeping them in cages isnt natural either, but they live good lives. He was alive for two years and I keep reptiles as a hobby, bit like pedigree cat/dog breeders. Don just happened to be my favourite and closest to my heart.
 
I weren't having a dig Blazey so no need to be so defensive, in your photo Dons habitat looked ok to me, I completely disagree with your statement regarding dogs and cats though, I too would disagree with anyone clipping the wings of birds. I had no idea that reptiles live so long, are you going to get a professional opinion regarding his death?

No it costs too much and I dont want him being prodded and cut open when he's dead, so I'd rather just put it down to the cold weather. Different reptiles live for different periods of time. As for the dog and cat thing, there are clearly types of cat and dog that are not suitable for a household, just as some reptiles arent suitable for in the home, so I think it's very similar. But I guess it depends what species and what opinion u have on it.
 
Sorry to here a bout your loss, but he,s gone to a nice place in heaven and it will always be in good hand,s with the lord looking down on it.
 
Blazey, I am sorry you have lost your beloved pet.
I have cats and I know how much they become part of the family, and you really do miss them when the leave us. You can only tell yourself that he had a privileged life.

Well our persian cat came in whilst I was taking him out of his vivarium and it was meowing (i know thats not how u spell it officially) at the empty vivarium. So it seems the cats are wondering where he has gone too :(
 
Sorry to hear about the passing of your pet Blazey. Presumably he had heat in his viv so the cold shouldn't have been a problem. Did you have him from a baby?
