    Axel

    Ball Python. My first reptile. Pick of the litter. Although he was in my life such a short while, He touched both my life, and my mothers. My Mom was deathly afraid of snakes, and had a very strong hate of them, too. Axel is the only snake she had ever held. He taught her that snakes could be gentle things, worthy of love and respect. When we found him behind that wall, cold and curled up, she immediately opened her shirt to warm him.

    He didn't make it. I don't even think he was actually alive when we found him. I'm in total denial right now. I just can't believe he's dead. He died far too young, far too soon.

    I love you, buddy. I'm so sorry.

    Re: Axel

    I am terribly sorry for your loss. However, I am glad that you found Axel and can at least be at peace knowing you found him.

    Thanks everyone. It's gotten (somehow) easier the last few days. It's so ridiculous how attached I got to the little guy...I thought he would be with me for years, and my brain is having such a hard time letting go of that idea.

    It's so hard to calm the 'if only's' in your head, you know?
