Default :'( Genine :(

I feel really crappy right now.

My reticulated python just passed in my hands.

Some time ago she damaged her tail, and loss the use of approxamatly 4 inches of tail, which remained alive until a few weeks ago. At that time she bit her own tail and caused an infection. Some baytril and TLC later the wound closed and she was ok.

Around a week or two later i found her biting her own tail again (no food or anything) but this time she had severed the spine. The tail was held by about 10% of the tissue, and a nerve line.

The tail was removed and began to heal ok, but she developed an infection. She has been on oral antibiotics for a week now, but they were doing nothing to help. I just had her out tonight and was offering her some water from a pippette since she was so weak and she sadly passed.

This has hit me much harder than i expected it would, because over the last 30 hours or so i could see it approaching but i refused to belive it would happen. Now it has and it hurts. I want my baby

Sorry for going on i just wanted to explain and talk it through with myself.

she was so lovely aswell. A stroppy bitch at times and got me a fair few times too but when i had her she was lovely. And if anone else held her she'd not like it and try to get back to me.

my poor baby.
