R.I.P. "Prince"

This was my first king. He regurged a few weeks ago, then shed acted normal, fed him last week and he regurged a little last week when i posted about it. This morning when I was doing my normal rounds turning on lights and checking on all of them and found this guy was lifeless. He was always great, always calm and never agressive. He will always be remembered.

Sorry about your loss. He was a pretty snake. That's too bad. Maybe it was his time to go? Who knows?
Yeah, that's the ONLY part of the hobby that sucks (that and escapees) . . .

Sorry for your loss.

I recently lost a 16 year-old male Creamsicle to similar circumstances. Its a bummer, but take heart - there are other snakes to enjoy.

Regards,
