Jon, I'm sorry for your loss, it's quite obvious to me you really cared for the Tegu...

I'm also sorry you've been met with 'hostility' in your attempt to get help here with us at TeguTalk...

" you obviously don't know how long it takes to freeze to death and the process it is going through". I am a " human physician" and I know very well "what it takes" to freeze. And no, one would not put a cat or dog in the freezer since they are warm blooded. There are other ways of euthanasia, but there is no point in discussing it further. I understand it is sometimes hard for some people to put things into perspective in the circle of life if all they have to care for are animals. ( ie no children, family etc).

I had one of my extremes do the same thing after coming out of hibernation early. The other is still under and seems fine. Something apparently wasnt right before hibernation.

My Op wasnt' hostile but since it was taken that way, then fine. Like I said in my second post,.. take it what ever way you like. Because Everything I said was and still is true, whether you like it or not.

The truth hurts and you don't have to like it. But at the same time once again not everything will be candy or sugar coated for you to like it.

In my 2nd post,. yeah I admit that I could have left out that last line. But sometimes when you act like an *ss,.. regardless of the situation, guess what not everybody will be as sympathetic as they should or would have been if you didn't.

Freezing animals period (people do it and not just reptiles),.. as a form of euthanasia is a whole other thread in itself.

Take a cue from my previous response to montana and "don't act like you know me".

I'm done carry on.

I vote we get back on topic...

I'm so dreadfully sorry for your loss :( I know I would have completely freaked out in that situation. You did what you could do without causing unnecessary stress to him. RIP scaley baby :(
