It's been a long time since I posted here. I need help. My avatar picture is of Skull the Python when he was just a few months old, coming out of my husband's pocket. There's no easy way to say this. My husband died two years ago. He was Skull's primary keeper. My grief over my husband's death has been overwhelming. This is has been the hardest two years of my life. I've been taking care of Skull but it's becoming increasingly difficult for me. Things in his habitat are breaking and I have no idea how to fix them. The humidifier broke and I've been doing the best I can to keep his humidity up using a manual sprayer but I feel like I'm losing the battle. Now, I can't get him to eat. It's not unusual for Skull to fast during the winter but he's hardly eaten this summer and it's way too early to for him to fast now.
I would like to give him to someone who will take care of him and be kind to him. He's a mellow boy who gave my husband, and me truth be told, much joy. But I'm struggling with just taking care of myself right now. Struggling bad. Yet, it would rip me apart if something bad happened or if he was used as a feeder or abused.
Skull is a five year old normal. He's healthy, despite his failure to eat right now.
Bawling like a baby as I type this. I just need to find a good place for him.
