Really hurts to write this... Nagini is gone.
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.

I'm so sorry for your loss, you did your best for Nagini & you made the right but tough decision... Life isn't always fair.
That was a nice use of her tank, to rescue Alastor...all the best with him.

Sorry to hear that, I know you did what you could trying to fix it. Did anyone give you any idea what was causing the problem?
I've found out that lots of people don't take very good care of their ball pythons. After they have them for a while they try to sell them. You can find BPs on craigslist pretty cheap and you may even save them from dying. Both that I've bought from the original owners have been very under weight.

Re: Really hurts to write this... Nagini is gone.
Vet said it was likely accidental inbreeding that affected her small intestines and/or kidneys.
I promised my boyfriend I wouldn't get another animal now. I rescue animals left and right. If and when we move in together, we're probably going to pick a snake out, because we both love snakes. I don't know if I'll be ready for another royal... Definitely not standard morph. I'm going to try to push for a BRB or CRB, they're pretty.

Oh,
I'm so sorry to hear this. Prolapses can be so difficult to stop recurring.
