Wow...that is terrible. I am so sorry for your loss and I can't even begin to imagine how you feel. She was a beautiful ball python. My favorite ball python is my very first snake. I've had her for most of her life and I love her more than my two year old dog who i've had since she was a puppy (and her mother was mine too before I left my dad's place.) I don't even want to think about how I would feel if anything ever happened to her...; My stepdad always made jokes about how he's gonna cut it's head off or throw it in the fire or cut it in half so i'll shut up about snakes and I wanted just wanted to beat the BS out of him right there. Again I am so very sorry for your loss
