Nagini prolapsed for the third time last night. My vet and I agreed that the kindest thing to do was to end her suffering. She would have died months earlier if it weren't for my care, he said, so I'm grateful that I got to do that for her.
She was the kindest, most gentle of all of my pets. She will be sorely missed.
Her tank is now occupied by a tiny pink baby leopard gecko that was bullied by its tank mates and no longer has a foot or half of its tail. I'm naming him Alastor, after the Harry Potter character. I don't think Nagini would have wanted her beautiful tank to go unused for too long.
