R.I.P. Rocky

coluberking25 Feb 08, 2009 06:15 PM

Well, my parents called, and Rocky is dead. how this happened I have NO idea whatsoever, but it stinks.

The only thing I guess that could have been a problem was he was never really enthusiastic about eating. I'd hold the rat against his mouth and he'd open up and take it.

Anyway, thought you'd guys would like to know.

I know how scary it can be to have to worry about your snakes while they're being kept somewhere else. All of mine are 45 minutes away from me by my parents (and I don't have my car here) so I feel you on that one, sorry for your loss.
