In memory of Houdini the corn snake...

I just found my corn snake Houdini dead in his cage. :(
This is just a post in his memory, he was my first snake, and my friend. He was important to me and will be greatly missed.

I hope he has gone to a better place... and I will never forget him.

I'm so sorry for your loss, I know exactly how you feel. I felt the same way when I lost my first Corn snake. :tears:

MY condolences. How did he die? Old age?

Thank you all. Unfortunately not old age. I don't know how, but he was just a baby, 1 year old...... i havent been able to stop crying:tears:.

Man losing a snake is pretty hard, and I can't say that I haven't cried when one of my snakes died. So far, I've had 3 snakes that have died in the past, over 2 years ago. Two were Corns, one was a Milk snake. Oddly, both the Corns died for the same reason: Regurgitating their meal.

Yeah it's very hard to lose a beloved pet, I would be devistated if my female Ball python died. Now, if that happened, I wouldn't be able to sleep at all.

Well, try to sleep, it's best to get your night's rest.

What did/do you plan on doing with the snake's body?

I have him in a baggie, and i'm going to bury him tomorrow. I sat him on the porch, because it is cold enough to preserve his body.
