    RIP. Jewel

    My kids and I are very sad and my non-snake loving wife is also sad.

    I started my morning seeing something I knew was going to signal the end for our precious Jewel.


    She was hatched June 19th 2013 and we picked her up at an expo June 28th 2014.

    She was the silent favorite here. My wife who doesn't dislike snakes but also is indifferent always said she liked Jewel the most.

    She had a mini personality and I enjoyed taking her out the most. In the 7+ years we had her, she went from small to over 8 feet long.

    I didn't think I'd be affected on the same level as saying goodbye to a dog but I'm very sad today.

    I'll end with some happier and healthier photos.

    Loved her size and deck rail behavior. The rail is being painted tomorrow but sadly Jewel's last picture is on the old rail.




    We're going to miss her.


    She'll be buried in our yard and a tree all be planted over her.

    Love you girl.

    Thanks for a great 7 years : (

    So sorry Gio. My deepest condolences.

    Always terrible losing an animal. Especially one you were so fond of.

    You, your family, and Jewel are in my thoughts.

    Keep your chin up.

    Re: RIP. Jewel

    Such sad news to get from you this morning, buddy. You certainly gave her the best life a snake could ask for during her time with you and your family. She’s on a beautiful Aussie island in the sky now cruising the best deck rail she could ever dream of.

    Gone but not forgotten. You will be missed, Jewel.

    I'm so sorry for the loss of your beautiful pal, Jewel. This was much too soon, not to mention sudden? She'll certainly be missed- And she always looked stunning on your railing.

    Sometimes you can get everything right, do everything right and still things happen outside of our control.

    It has happened to me and it is a strong feeling of loss...Condolences to you my friend for having to know this loss.

    Take care buddy.
