For your loss, Eric. Kathy and I both know the frustration and heartache from losing one of our prized boas. Keep your head up and carry on, buddy. Things will get better.

Denny & Kathy Rimes

Eric, I am very sorry for your loss. I know first hand how bad you feel. I hope things will get better for you. It's bad enough loosing a baby...

Keep your head up Bro, brighter days are coming !!

Call me when you can. Andy

Hang in there, Eric!
Just know that there are a lot of people out there that know EXACTLY how you feel.
Condolences, my friend.

She was definitely a nice boa that produced some beautiful offspring....Very sorry for your loss.

We have all experienced what you are going through now. It doesn't make it any easier.....but know we *do* understand. I am attached to all of my boas, and I lost two that I especially loved. I cried like a baby for days and felt profound grief weeks later. When we get quiet and really look, we see little facets of "personality" and behaviors that endear these graceful creatures to our hearts.

One of the things that is especially touching to me is how brave my '03 Ghost girls try to be. I raised them up, handling them, being silly, talking babytalk and giving them smooches. They are as unafraid (I think) as a snake can be, however, they are hardwired to be shy and reclusive. It is amusing to watch the bravery and timidity battle at times, when they soooo want to come out and hang out with me. You can see them deliberating, "Ohhhh it's pretty scarey......but, I really want to come out for a while and explore." The bravery usually wins

Please don't give up on your snakelings. I know you need some time to yourself - to reflect - but please come back to us here on the forum. Your presence and voice gives it flavor. I, for one, would miss you if you left.

Remember, you have those beautiful babies to finish raising. They will worm their way into your heart, like Raindrop did, and soon, they will present you with gorgeous babies.....and the lifecycle will continue....

Be well, friend...
