Default Goodnight my lovely boy.

Today when doing the usual checks I sadly found my big anery motley boy dead. (corn snake)

Looked like he had tried to regurge and got it stuck. So hard to believe as he never regurges.

I'm normally so great at double checking everyone and the one time I decide all if fine this happens.

Hard Lesson to learn, but always ALWAYS, double check everything, even if normally there is no problems.

I now feel a very lazy and dreadfull keeper.

I have his sons and a daughter to remember him by but just to rub it in a bit more, I don't seem to have a picture of him.

Sorry to hear of your loss Anne,

Dont put yourself down babe,,accidents can and will happen no matter how carefull we are.
There is a few folk on this site including myself that have snakes from you and i dont think any of them them would class you as a lazy or dreadfull keeper.
As i said ,these things happen

r.i.p Sooty

take care Anne
xx

Sometimes this will happen regardless of what we do. Just feel good that had a great home whilst he was here

Its awful when things like this happen out of the blue.

Even if you did double check them, he may have seemed fine.

Somtimes these things just happen.

*hugs*
