But after two years of being an exceptionally difficult feeder, my first and favorite snake - Prince Oberyn - has passed away.
I rescued her from Petsmart, they were going to euthanize her because she was "vicious". She was as far from vicious as a kitten. She was covered in scars from her cagemates, and scared to death.
Rarely could I get her to eat two weeks in a row over the last two years. and after trying quite literally everything - even tubing at one point - she has moved on.
Never getting past 500g, I had to keep this outcome in the back of my mind.
I didn't think I would lose her so soon, but I have to face it now.
Pardon the tank setup - from when I was new and woefully ill prepared for the art of python keeping.
Oh Ryn how I miss you.![]()
