    Sad News

    My beloved Kingsnake, Sammy passed away tonight

    She was a real character and would slither onto my hand when I opened the viv door. She would flick her tongue against the glass to attract my attention. I can only hope she was happy in her own snakey way the time I had her.

    I shall miss her so much

    So sorry Python. How long had Sammy lived with you?

    Python- I really feel for you. I have had quite a few snakes in my lifetime. I remember the tears I shed when my little green grass snake "Henry" died when I was a little girl. I buried him in a candlelight ceremony.
    Rest in Peace, Sammy.

    ((((Python)))) I'm so sorry to hear about your beloved Sammy. I love all that is reptilian as well and my heart goes out to you. I used to have Bearded Dragons and was nursing a hatchling hand feeding it with an eye dropper and it died in my hand so I know how it is easy to get attached to our cold blooded babies just as easily as our fur babies. I had more beardies after that and a couple snakes among other lizards, but I don't have any of them anymore. I miss them terribly, they didn't give me any allergy symptoms and my cats do (I still love them and told my allergist I wasn't getting rid of them)
    I am very sorry you've lost Sammy, I believe there is a special place at the Rainbow Bridge for our cold blooded non fur babies too.

    Don't think of it as getting hot flashes. Think of it as your inner child playing with matches

    aww

    Python, i'm sure your dear Sammy appreciated you as her owner/human. She's probably telling her slithery friends upstairs about a cool lady in England she had as a friend.

    Do you have a lot of snakes?

    Take care
