As you can probably guess from the subject, we lost of one our snakes today. We're not really sure why he passed, but we all feel pretty awful about it.



At the expo we met a breeder named Ruth Hanney. She was extremely kind, gave us her card and told us to call if anything was wrong and she would try to walk us through it (we told her about the regurge). We called her today, but both me and Matt knew it was too late. Ruth thinks there was nothing we could do. She said he was just too weak and too little and it probably wasn't our faults, it was probably too late for him.



We talked it over for a bit, and we decided to try again. On Sunday we're going to Ruth's to pick out a new corn snake, one that's already healthy and a bit bigger. Hopefully a fresh start with a healthy snake will make all the difference.



Thanks for all your advice during the times I had questions about him. I don't think there was anything more we could have done.
