Sorry to hear about the loss of inferno. We all appreciate the wisdom you have to share about your pets, and the hobby as a whole. Your message was spot on, just because we have cameras doesn’t mean we are infallible. Much love buddy
Thanks so much, brother! Hard lesson learned but I’m confident the top comment on this video is right about what happened and I’ll be careful going forward.
I literally lost my female african dwarf frog 10 minutes ago and then I saw your video. I did everything to save her but nothing worked..your video made me feel lets say a "bit better".. For us, as keepers its hard to save an animal sometimes... Is just out of our hands..
But videos like this, needs to be addressed more often. Thank you for your honesty and sorry for your loss..
This video is so important. Thank you for braving the risk of poor comments by trolls. We can be the smartest person in the room and still run into these complications. Keep improving the reptile world one video at a time. Your making a difference. You are appreciated, flaws and all. I’m sorry for your loss and i thank you again for your honesty. Spreading this kind of knowledge is important. Difficult…. But important.
This^^ is a great comment ❤ Dayyan, you have so many successes within the hobby, but unfortunately, life will never ever let us get away with only happy days. You’re an incredible keeper, who always makes choices to the best of your ability! You posting this is just proof of that. ❤ I hope the pain eases soon friend.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the kind words 🙏🏼
I think you missidentified the cause of death. I noticed how skinny he was already in the last video. I know you mentioned you try not to overfeed them but garther snakes are active foragers that need to eat a lot and often in comparison to some other snake species. It takes a lot of energy out of snakes body to start the digesting process (especially after longer time since last feeding) and takes some time before they start getting nutrients from the food item itself. If you feed a substantial food item to a skinny snake, it can kill them. Digesting rodent this size would not kill a healthy garter. People need to hear this.. not to be afraid to feed their garter snakes. We are all learning and sadly, stuff like this happens. Where is life, there is death as well.
Agreed, mistakes happen but its important to learn the correct lessons
Correct, garter snakes have a higher metabolism than most snakes in the hobby and should eat smaller meals more frequently. The issue in this case was not just the size of the meal but the health of the animal (too skinny) post brumation.
Hi I am sorry to hear about the passing of your ull
I agree on the assessment that the cause of death was a relatively large meal post brumation. An unfortunate event but a learning experience.
Totally agree
Sorry to hear this Dayyan.
Chin up mate.
Thanks for being honest so that others may learn from it.
Love your honesty.
You are a good man. 🏆
My condolences. Having worked at veterinary clinics over the years I know that no matter what kind of pet you have it is always hard to lose them. Of course I have had to euthanize my own beloved pets. A veterinarian told me once that my pets had a very fulfilling life and that bought me a tiny bit of comfort. I know you work hard to give your pets the same. Take care.
So many RUclipsrs should be more like you! Take notes Canadian reptile keepers ….take notes
Also I’m really sorry for your loss. It hurts to love a reptile you love and care for. Just know it will never happen again because of this lesson. Horrible lesson to learn but such is life :( *sending virtual hugs*
I’m so sorry, Dayyan. Your honesty and transparency is commendable and appreciated. Thank you for being vulnerable with your community-that’s what brings us all closer. Sending love your way! ❤
Thank you so much Kayla! I appreciate the sweet, empathetic message, friend 🙏🏼. Much love
So sorry about this loss! You are one of the best reptile keepers ever! Nobody is perfect... don't apologize! Know you are loved! ❤❤❤❤
I am not a pet keeper at this time but I do enjoy your videos for two main reasons. First is the diversity of the animals you keep and the second reason is that your commitment to the care of your animals and your generosity in sharing your care techniques with others who may be less experienced with these animals. I am sincerely sorry for your loss, but the one thing I can say is that every animal you care for has had the opportunity to have an excellent quality of life with you.
I’m so sorry to hear that Dayyan, people go and it is apart of life like you said. We ( the viewers and subscribers) are always here for you ❤
Thank you so much! I appreciate you during this difficult time 🙏🏼.
Dion… we are so very sorry for your loss. Thank you for being brave and sharing your loss and pain. You have taught us so much about all the creatures you keep. Keep doing what you do and hold your head high.
I’m sorry for your loss 💔 also thank you for sharing too. We are all learning together. Again I am sorry 😢
I’m sorry for your loss. Thank you for being brave enough to share
Thank you
Sorry to hear about inferno!
I applaud your straight forwardnes and honesty.
This video is important for everyone in the scene to see. ❤
Thank you very much 🙏🏼
So sorry Dayyan. The love you have for your animals is always apparent. It's always hard losing an animal.
Sorry for your loss. We have all been there and made errors, a few years back I made a similar mistake where I fed a slightly larger mouse then I usually did to a juvenile green tree python I had. I left my house to attend a family party, when I returned I found the gtp dead at bottom of enclosure, it had attempted to regurgitate the mouse and obviously ended up chocking to death. I was heart broken but I learnt from my mistakes and as you said it made me a better keeper
Buddy. I feel so bad for you. It’s obvious you care so much. Keep up the good work
Thank you, I will!
Dayyan. You are not a disappointment. You are a great keeper. But, you, like the rest of us, are human and prone to making mistakes. Learn from this mistake. Grow from this mistake. We are here to lift you up and support you as well. Keep being you!!!
Sorry to hear about your garter snake. I think that anyone who keeps small animals will sometimes have unfortunate losses - it can happen so quickly.
I’m so sorry to hear that Dayyon it is a part of life and I had to go through that in December 16th 2023 my bearded dragon was 9 and we’re here for you dayyon I hope you can give yourself some time to cope and grieve ❤ rip inferno you will be missed
Big hugs 💗 Even experts make mistakes. Traditionally, they just haven't shared the losses or had the kind of public platform to share their experiences with others. Your channel is so important because you help teach and show others that we are all only human and no matter how well we try to care for others, deaths will occur. It sucks and im heartbroken for you because people who love and care for animals feel those losses alot more often than some others. I appreciate you dude and love watching your videos 🌻 ... even the spider ones 😜😱🤣💗🐾🐢🦎🐍🕷
My condolences friend on your pet I know what it feels to lose an animal close to you hope things get better great job on your Contant
Thank you 🙏🏼
@@Reptiliatus You’re welcome
That was both heartbreaking and uplifting. Heartbreaking, of course, because of the pain you are going through from losing a beloved animal, but also uplifting, because it clearly shows what your viewers already know about you: that you are incredibly passionate, dedicated, and thoughtful about animal husbandry, and that there is no ego here, no pompous boasting of your skills, or how you have acquired the "rarest" or "most expensive" or any of that folderol - just a person who is dedicated to making all animals in his care live their best lives possible, while educating the rest of us along the way. Your authenticity is why we all are here.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment!
😭He was a beautiful boy, i sorry Reptili life is all about learning and growing
Thank you!
Sorry for your loss bud! Keep your head up and continue with your great care!!
I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend's. ❤
Dayyon ……I’m so sorry. It’s hard enough when it’s natural but when we may have done something wrong it makes it almost intolerable. Your honesty will help someone else. My heart breaks for you…and him. I’m really sorry💔
awhh.. im so sorry for your loss dayyan.
we are always here for you!❤❤
I’m so very sorry for your loss Dayyan, heartbreaking, however it happened. You never know what can happen, I’m not looking forward to losing my pride and joys, I’ve made close relationships with my critters spending hours/days/weeks/YEARS getting them comfortable enough to fall asleep on me, to trust me.
There’s so much risk caring for other lives ❤😢 I have nightmares of my babies passing because of my neglect, often, I wake up crying
Thank you friend! I appreciate your kindness
We have to make the best of the time we have with them!
I’m so sorry, Dayyan. Sending my love and condolences 🤗💕
Hey so sorry for your loss, things sometimes go wrong even with the best plans and preparation. Thank you for letting us learn with you. Much love.
I am so sorry for your deep loss. None of us are perfect, we all make mistakes. I hope you can forgive yourself for what was an accident. We KNOW you would never have done anything to put one of your pets at risk intentionally. BIG HUGS from a fellow Canadian.
I'm so sorry to hear Deyyan. I hope your ok❤ thank you for always being so open and honest in your videos
I’m very sorry to hear of your loss. It’s so hard to lose those we love and I know how much your animals mean to you. My thoughts are with you. Please take care of yourself.
sorry for your loss
and thanks for sharing
Your honesty is appreciated, refreshing and part of what keeps me coming back. It's hard to lose a pet, and even harder when it's because something that we've done or not done. I'm so sorry for your loss.
I'm sorry he passed. Learning from mistakes is apart of growing and being able to do better for our animals in the future. Thank you for sharing and being transparent with us. I appreciate you.
That really sucks... Sorry for your losses. 💙
Dayyan, I’m very sorry about Inferno. Thank you for sharing so we all can benefit. Your humility, transparency and love for your animals is very inspiring.
Condolences for your loss, brother. I really enjoy watching your videos and have learned a lot about reptiles. There's no doubt in my mind you give these guys the best possible lives they can have and it sucks deeply when something like this happens. Keep your head up and remember the good memories you created with Inferno. I cant even begin to imagine my two geckos passing away. I've lost pets in the past (cat and dog) and it's not something any of us prepare for. 💚💚💚
So sorry to hear that, Dayyan!
Sorry for your loss dion 😢
I am soo sorry for your loss 🥺 It happens to the best of the best buddy, honesty and transparency can never be disappointing, loosing a Lifeform is devastating, there is nothing you could have done, it was his time. Much Love!!!
I’m so sorry for your losses. It breaks my heart to hear about Inferno 😢 It’s so hard to lose any pet. Sending hugs and lots of love.
Sorry for your loss
I'm so sorry to hear that. I also lost my very first reptile a few days ago, so i know how you feel. :(
We love you Dayyan. keep your head up
I just watched your feeding all my snakes video the other day 😥😥😥 Rest In Peace Snake Friend Inferno! You'll be missed but the moments cherished!
I’m so sorry that this happened. It hurts even more when it’s unexpected.
You always do the best that you can for your animals. I’ve learned a lot from you and I’m 50 just getting into reptiles.
So sorry for your loss. I do think it is good that you shared because I feel like if all the good is just shown, people would get these animals and not realize the bad things that can happen and make the same mistakes. Especially since you are a very experienced keeper and it can even happen with you. We all know that you truly love your animals.
Sorry for your losses. Great video.
I appreciate it, friend
Sorry for your loss
I’m so sorry for your loss
I am sorry for your loss, life happens. Thank you for being honest, I didn't think bad about you, you are human. Just go forward we are here for you. Love you
i am so sorry for your losses. and like you said, mistakes happen. the best we can do is treat them as a learning moment, and do our best to never repeat the same mistakes. its the side of petkeeping i hate more than anything, the goodbyes, especially when unexpected.
It's really sad to hear when any of our scaley or otherwise friends pass, and it can be really rough to know what exactly to do all the time when information can be incredibly limited or we aren't always dealt the right cards to deal with something like some uncontrollable infection. I really appreciate the honesty with your video, and it's something many of us hobbyists will likely experience at some point with that same thought process of doing our very best to make sure nothing ever happens, while also trying to push it ever happening to the back of our minds. The last thing any of us want is the sacrifice of their well being, and it's really hard when something somehow does. Love & appreciate you man.
I’m so sorry for your losses. Thank you for sharing your experiences, hopefully this helps at least one person.
Thank you 🙏🏼! I appreciate that and I hope it does too!
Thank you for sharing this experience and the lessons you've learned from it. I think any exotic pet keeper has (or will eventually have) a hard-learned lesson or two along the way. I appreciate that you are risking criticism, though I would hope that people realize that accidents happen and we are all fallible. Your pain at this loss is more than punishment enough. I am so sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss. Always difficult.
I'm so sorry Hun. My heart is broken for you. Do not be to hard on yourself. There isn't a one of us that hasn't made a mistake. I know it hurts though *big hug*
You have my respect and my condolences. I know this is so so hard. Sending you all the love and strength. Here for you always 💚
I appreciate you! Thanks so much!
Losing pets is so, so heartbreaking. You loved that animal and gave it a great life. Please dont beat yourself up too much. Hugs.
Definitely sucks man but sometimes like you said life lessons come at a cost . You’re an amazing keeper I’m talking top of the top tear . Appreciate you sharing with us
Learning is part of life. Sometimes good or bad. You do a great job. Please don't let it get you down. It's a lesson learned and go on from there
Sorry, Dayyan. I hope you don’t feel overwhelming guilt; only due remorse. As you said, death is apart of life for animals.
Thank you so much! Means a lot! Hope you’ve been well!
Sorry for your loss❤ feel huged and don't be to hard on yourself
Thank you so much!
So sorry for your loss. It's a horrible feeling to lose an animal you've developed such a bond with. I lost my Strophurus spinigerus last Friday, and there have been a lot of tears. He was the reptile I was least bonded with because he was so tiny and squirmy, so there was less interaction with him, but it still hurt, and I still wonder what more I could have done.
That takes lots of guts to do what you are doing lots of love big guy keep at it
Thanks so much
I’m so sorry for your loss…!!!
Tough loss, my friend. The loss of someone or something you love is never easy. Chin up, we're here if you need anything.
I'm so sorry. I have lost dogs. So I know how you feel. It takes time it will get better. Hope you are doing OK. Love ya friend ❤❤
I'm so sorry for your Loss 💔
Thank you for your transparency and honesty, red sided garter are my dream snake so this is really helpful to know and learn from for the future
Yes, I would just be more weary or at least not offer any larger meals directly after a brumation. Start small and slow and gently size up prey. Hard lesson learned.
I’m sorry to hear that I’ve lost a few pets 😢 and thank you for sharing. I have always been a fan! Stay strong
You are so kind
Sorry to hear it man. Try not to beat yourself up too much. It's pretty obvious you are trying and care about your pets. Thanks for sharing, hopefully it helps more people take care of snakes in the future to hear about your experiences.
The others are probably just as frustrating not figuring it out. It must be hard for that many at once.
Sorry to hear the news of your loss buddy. Your message to everyone is valuable advice... We all have been there and made this mistakes that we did not think were mistakes at the time... and maybe they weren't even mistakes and it was some fluke accident. In these cases there is no could have, should have.... didn't comment we can make. Thanks for being who you are!
Thank you so much, my friend! Means a lot! Well said too!
I’m sorry you are going through this but thank you so much for sharing your healthy attitude towards it. I’ve made mistakes with the best of intentions and thinking I’ve done all possible research and found that I came up short before and it was heartbreaking to work though and for some people I know it can turn them off of the hobby altogether. It’s very healing to see someone else share here and it is appreciated. Rest in peace beloved friend.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for being so open and honest. I think losses regarding animals in generel is a very difficult topic to speak up about, especially since it is so common for people to be judgemental and say harsh things making it even harder since we already blame ourselves for what happened. Over the past months I have lost a lot of animals, some to abscesses even though I went to vets time after time and it has been so horribly hard - blaming myself for what happened and questioning my ability to take care of my animals even though I do everythingfor them and live to make them thrive. It is not something I speak up about because I dont want other people to think about me the same way I do and it is so tough to deal with the loss on your own. So thank you for bringing such a hard topic up and I am sorry for the loss of your little garter.
Oh no! I am so sorry & know how much our animals mean to us. I don’t want to give this a “heart” because I know this hurts. Sending you a virtual hug.
Thank you so much 🙏🏼
Thank you for your vulnerability and honesty. I know there are many who will learn from your experience. A beautiful way to honor your animals
Thank you so much!
Sorry for your loss dude ☹
Thanks so much! 🙏🏼
To add to my previous comment on patreon, losing baby birds or grown adult birds over the bird keeping time I had was always so devastating. Huge hugs to you.
I am so sorry. It is never easy when it is unexpected. We all do the best we can in this hobby but we are never going to be perfect.
I took had the prolapse issue with some of my red eye tree frogs. It was so stressful. I have 3 that are doing well.
Oh no Dayyan!! I am soo sorry!! Its never easy to loose a dear one.... let it be pet. Take time for yourself. Thank you for your honesty and sharing your pain, that is a note of a great person. I know you dont know me but do take care *Hugs
In September I lost my juvenile giant day gecko still to this day idk what happened he was healthy and fine the day before then I found him dead in the corner of the enclosure it sucks every day I wish he was still here I know what you’re going through thank you for being so open to us about and love you’re content
No disappointment here. I believe that honesty is the best policy. In all aspects of life AND death. You're being open with us and your grief is showing on your face for all of us to see. So we know this is hard for you and we appreciate you all the more for it. Im so sorry for your loss. May God's grace be with you in your time of grief. 🙏 AMEN.
So sorry for your loss 😢. This is hard I know 😢.
Thank you so much!
Garters are my favorite snakes... but they do die suddenly when things go wrong. I lost the sweetest eastern garter a couple of years ago to parasites and I should have treated her before it happened... still makes me sad to think about. I feel your pain dude! Wish ya all the best
Totally understand the grief of giving your pets a treat and it ends up hurting them instead, as well as the grief of watching them suffer when there's nothing you can do about it. I hope that making this video has helped you process and provides some closure. And I hope the internet treats you kindly.
I’m so sorry man! May the snake rest in peace now & transition peacefully! Sending you distant hugs man. But don’t be too hard on yourself
Sometimes as a hobbiest we run on “autopilot” & just do things. Things like this happen. I have a desert tortoise & “had” a juvenile Russian tortoise. One day I was super exited to introducing them for literally 30 seconds and that’s all it took. My juvenile Russian caught an R.I from the desert tortoise & showed symptoms when it was already too late, died 3 days later.
We learn but we can’t be too hard on ourselves. We learn & do better moving forward & along with some awareness that’s all we can control 😊
Thanks for the transparency and vulnerability here. You know, my very first reptile as a child was a leopard gecko. We did everything the pet store told us and this was a locally owned and operated store, not one of the big chains.
I was watching tv one and turned to see what he was doing and he was coughing blood at the side of his tank. We actually took him to an emergency vet and found out the sand we were told was safe to keep him on had caused internal bleeding. It basically ruined reptile keeping for me until I was an adult.
We feel your pain, buddy. Loss happens to us all.
I feel so sad for you because your heart is pure and you truly care for your animals. I am so sorry this happened.
Thank you!
So sorry to hear about Inferno. He was very beautiful and we can tell he was special to you. You know everyone makes mistakes from time to time. That’s how we all learn. 😢❤😢❤
Thank you for the kind words of support! 🙏🏼
Definitely a very hard topic but definitely one of the most important. Unfortunately in any hobby, mistakes will be made but it’s important to not sweep it under the rug. Thank you for this
Well said! Thank you
I’m sorry for your loss Dayyan 😢
Thank you so much, friend 🙏🏼
I’m so sorry. That’s a hard, hard thing to go through
Thank you
Oh gosh. I'm so sorry about Inferno, and all your other critters that have passed. ❤ Thank you for sharing, you're very clearly a great pet parent.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for humbly sharing your experience here. I loathe death, but love, love, love animals… so I keep a lot of animals - cats, fish, frogs, geckos - and I am just as vulnerable to the pain of witnessing death as I was when I was 6 (and I am 60 now). When one loves living creatures as much as we do, we never lose our sensitivity to the sting of death. However, I would not trade my love for God’s creatures for an immunity to the heartbreaking sadness I feel over the death of even one of these beautifully designed creatures. The daily fulfillment of being a steward and caretaker of the natural world’s creatures far outweighs the pain and heartbreak involved. Thank you again for sharing a part of yourself and for conveying critical animal keeping information to help us all succeed in caring for our pets!🤗
So sorry for your losses. You are correct, death is a part of life. You obviously care for all your animals. Mistakes do happen unfortunately. Remember you had the best interest in mind for all your animals that passed. You TRIED to save them and that is what truly matters. We learn from our mistakes. Keep doing the great work you do. May those who passed rest in peace. So sorry
