At noon today Sobe passed away while in Ron's hand. We had an necropsy done. Intestines looked fine. Her liver was white & her kidneys where small. We did not want to spend $250. to send her to a pathologist for parasites. The vet said, "he felt strongly that this was a unique sickness to Sobe". So it looks like it may have been an organ failure. She did not show signs of parasite diseases. When we picked her up this morning her tail was as hard as a rock & by late this morning her back legs were hard too. I noticed the signs with the shakey front legs on 10/1/ & on 10/24 she passed away. It has been a long road & has been very difficult as she was our first one.

In time we will be looking for another Tremper Albino (Sobe 2). For now we will focus on the our 2 babies we just got last Saturday at the Reptile Expo & the one has not eaten yet & the other eats like a pig. We have a high yellow male who is doing very well. Daisy, who was Sobe's cage mate is also doing very well.

We don't know what caused Sobe to get so sick so quickly. She really didn't loose that much weight either. It just never made sense. I bought her on 7/5 at a pet store so I had her for 3 months.

Thanks everyone. She was my first one so it was hard. But I want to thank everyone for your help in giving me advice & guidance while she was sick. We all did our best. I feel certain it wasn't a parasite as her cage mate Daisy is fine & a little pig. She is thriving at 54 g. Plus Sobe didn't show the signs of a parasite. I guess some things just can't be explained 100%. All we can do is our best. Right away I wanted to blame the pet store but there is no proof there either. She was healthy when I bought her & she was thriving up to 42 g. Something just went wrong.

Thanks again for all your support & help through this time!
