Aurora (Sept.20th, 2008 - April 30th,2025) After Aurora (Sept.20th, 2008 - April 30th,2025)

After battling organ failure and gout, just due to old age as far as anyone could tell, we had to say a very sad farewell to the matriarch of our little animal family, Aurora.  We kept her comfortable and happy as long as we could, and she passed very peacefully.

This is the last photo I have of her - always the beautiful lady even when she was old and sick!

For many years Aurora was my "go-to" reptile when anyone wanted to hold one of my exotic pets.  She was beautiful inside and out and was always the sweetest, most laid back out of all my critters.

I know in her lifetime Aurora helped me to change many minds about reptiles by showing people how awesome they can be!  Her legacy will live on through the hearts she touched, as well as through her spitfire of a daughter, Miyuki, who is still with us and doing well.

Rest in peace, sweet Aurora.  You are missed.
