I am devastated today by the death of my 13-year old red tail. I don't know why she died. I can't afford a necropsy so we buried her last night in the backyard.

She was with me for 13 years. I feel as though a part of me is gone and I can never get it back.

I have been very overwhelmed since Ike flooded our home and so she was not getting the attention she deserved since then. I am beating myself up wishing I had a second chance to pay more attention and perhaps prevent her death. I feel so sad.

Have you ever experienced a sudden, unexplained death of an adult red tail boa? I am grasping at straws here, but I am so heartbroken. She had no contact with other snakes, was fed prekilled, frozen rats only.
