RIP AL you were great Friend

So today I come home from work and Find my (first ) rescued corn snake dead. I have had AL for almost 20 Years. He was my first rescued snake ( I was 17 ) and he came to me though someone my sister was dating ( their friend) as well as being full grown. I know he was every bit of 23+ years in age . The day was coming but still depressing as can be he been though some of the worst and best times with me . I am going to miss him and his open mouth sleeping.( we kept thinking he had died with the way he slept for the last 2 years that we had to check on him 3 times a day . I am glad in a way with his passing he no longer has to suffer or miss meals cause he could not find it this boy had gong totally blind and was so weak I had to prekill his food for him to eat and was only eating once every 3-4 weeks..:(

I'm so sorry for your loss mech; it sounds like you two both bettered each other's lives which is the best thing an organism on this Earth can do. The best to you and AL.

Sorry for your loss, 20 years is a huge amount of time. RIP Al

I cannot imagine losing a snake I'd had for 20 years. I am so sorry for your loss. RIP Al, until you meet again on the Rainbow Bridge.
