When I got my first little Cal King we called Bandit about 8 years ago, I never realized how much I would enjoy him over the years with my son who grew up with him, and how much I'd miss him once he was gone. I had to make the tough decision last week, after noticing a large bulge down on his body not going away and after an x-ray at the vet indicated it was probably a tumor of some kind which didn't look promising. So hopefully he went out peacefully, he was a great pet snake, and I hope to get another one down the road sometime. I had a few other types of Kings over the years and a Corn, but didn't keep them (wife made me down size the collection when we got a dog 2 years ago, but wouldn't let Bandit go), and am leaning toward another Cal King since I have to be a one snake guy, and I've found him to be the best of all snakes. Take care and enjoy the hobby.

really sorry about your lose. atleast it sounds like he had a great life with a loving family.

keep him happy or at least provide him with a comfortable environment and ample attention.
