iam sad to say that two days ago my ball python died. he was suffering from a cold and from a bad shed. he choked...

i burried him under this huge nice shady willow tree.

be for he died i pushed everything away from me and tended to his needs, and made sure he felt comfortable. i would pick him up and hold him close to my chest and wishper to him. saying Kennan you hold on for a little bit longer. he would look up at me as if he was listening to what i was saying.

he was so weak that i had to take him to the tub and fill it up with a bit of water and lower his head down so he could drink. he loved it.

kennan and his girlfriend logan where my first ball pythons that i have ever owned. and i have never delt with a bad shed or sickness. i feel so horrible.

logan is depressed, they used to curl up around each other and drink at the same time, and when one was being held, the other would look around to see where they were at. im worried about logan now. i put her with another male named piper. she seems to be doing okay now, being with another male, and hes much bigger then her so ill see.

if i could give any advice or anything i would say that if you have a snake who looks like he or shes going through a bad shed, take care of it fast, because kennan choked to death while he was shedding. he was finally getting better but his skin was wraped around his chest and neck.

if i only heard him or woke up he would still be here, and i would still be holding him close to me.

kennan got his name from the lead singer of my favorite band. tool. maynard james kennan.

kennan baby you will never be forgotten. i feel your presence in me with every breath i take in. and i feel you crawling around my hands. from now on you are in consint peace forever.

in snake heaven, eat all your tummy can desire, and shed as many times as you wish to.

rest in piece my baby ball.
