    I haven't had to face this one yet, but I think of my guys as true pets, and I would burry it in a snake back in the back yard...maybe plant a tree or something. Not sure what I would do if it was a new hatchling and it died for some reason.

    probably burial, but if it was your prize maybe cremation. but the garbage is not an option i would do especially to something you considered a friend.

    Before considering burial in the US...check with your local laws. Some jurisdictions have laws against any kind of animal burial. Where I live in Montana requires cremation.

    What the heck, who goes spying on their neighbors to make sure they aren't burying their pets? That is like, the most random thing ever.

    Yeah I know. She doesn't just do it to me though. She is an idiot but her son is the former mayor so she doesn't get ignored for her insanity.
