Unhappy RIP Gizmo


Sad day here today. Gizmo ( from Michelle) has passed away during brumation.
She was discovered this morning during the weekly water change for the brumating adults. Regretfully I never took a photo of her, so I'm posting Michelle's picture of her.
She will not be forgotten & forever missed!

I am SO sorry Tom..........honestly, I am freaking out. Once I saw the title, I was hoping it was just a play on words. To know how close I came to owning one of the BEST Okeetee's I have/had ever seen.......then to know somebody like you had taken over possession and would keep the legend alive......I was/am devastated.

To others it may be "just a snake".......to me it was "one of the best" ever. I am and will grieve with you while this goes on. Sorry again, Sir.

R.I.P..... Gizmo.

I'm so sorry to hear of Gizmo's loss. You don't find prettier than that, anywhere.

Tom... I'm so sorry to hear that you lost Gizmo! I've always loved her. Definitely the ideal Abbott's Okeetee.
