Goodbye, Loki...
Loki, the first snake I ever owned, passed away tonight... My boyfriend was the one who found her.  He said she was roaming around like usual when he left (she usually comes out of her log when it starts to get dark and roams for an hour or so), and he had just gotten home and hung up the phone with me when he found her... She was just laying there outside her log...
We have absolutely no idea what happened, but my best guess is that she just never kicked her sickness, combined with not eating regularly and the recent move, there was just too much stress and it was too much for her... It's really heartbreaking for both of us, she was starting to eat more regularly and we thought she was finally getting better... I just watched her eat last night...  I just hope that she didn't suffer at the end, that it was quick and painless for her...
Goodbye Loki, we'll never forget you... You're in a better place now...

Aww. I am so very sorry you lost your first love. That is such a hard thing to live through. Take comfort in the fact that you did the best you could for her. I know it doesn't seem like it right now, but one day you will find room in your heart for another. None will ever replace her, and you shouldn't try to. But one to share her place in your heart ? Yes, there is always room for one more, even when our head says there isn't.
May you grieve your friend with dignity, mourn her with love, remember her with gratitude, and may despair for her never darken your door.

Thank you everyone for the thoughts, it means a lot. My boyfriend and I just recently moved back in with our respective parents last Sunday, so it's especially hard... We plan to bury Loki tomorrow at their house... She was just about 3 years old. I know that a lot of people wouldn't understand why we are so sad over "just a snake", but she was part of our family, and was our little baby...
She suffered from a reoccurring R.I. and the last vet visit also revealed a fungal infection in her throat. They gave us antibiotics but they weren't sure if it had spread... She was supposed to go back in soon because she was still having trouble swallowing even pinkies, and we were afraid that the infection was still there. Watching her try so hard to eat was heartbreaking, but we had held out hope that she would get better...

Re: Goodbye, Loki...
I am so sorry for your loss! I am feeling a bit wishy washy this morning and this really brought tears to my eyes. It is devastating to lose a beloved pet. I lost my cat a few years ago to megacolon. I had to have him put down and boy do I ever miss him. May you find peace and know that your girl is no longer suffering.

Sorry to hear that but at least she isn't sick anymore, right? No more suffering.
Are you down to just the boa now?
