This morning, we discovered that our dear Caesar had passed away. Just yesterday, he was a "guest of honor" at the Pike's Peak Herp Society meeting and was perfectly fine. This morning, he was gone. :tears:
He was our very first snake. We got him at a pet shop in Fairfax, VA in 2003 when he was just a noodle about 18" long. He's always been a great pet and an ambassador for snakes at several herp shows.
I don't know what happened. I hadn't gotten him to break his winter fast yet...but he was not losing weight. There was simply not a single indication that something was wrong.
I'm going to miss you, Caesar. Very much. :tears:
