It really hurts whenever we lose one. It is good that you are getting a new baby to help you through this, although you can never replace that first baby. I also agree that your first baby was probably too far gone by the time he left the pet shop to make it.

Remember that you want to quarantine your new arrival totally away from your other corn. Feed him last, hold him last, and make sure that you don't share anything from the other cage. Wash your hands scrupulously in between snakes. This is in case there was anything contagious in either snake.

Post pix of your new baby when you get him.
