Goodbye, sweet Bubbles. (Slightly disturbing images.)

[Anya]

Sigh. Felt it was time I wrote this. Those of you who know me already know, but....last night I discovered that Bubbles, my hatchling hoggie, had vanished. I clearly remembered putting her away carefully the day before, after briefly handling her for the first time since I purchased her last Saturday. I checked the tub of my other newly purchased baby snake, Mwezi, a Mexican Kingsnake. As soon as I saw Mwezi, I knew I had screwed up. So badly. And it cost poor Bubbles her life. Mwezi had killed and consumed bubbles, like any Kingsnake would.
I had no idea I had put her back in the wrong tub. I don't know why I did it. I still can't quite believe it.

When I could face it today, I took some pictures of Mwezi. It's horrible, and sad, but at the same time fascinating and amazing that Mwezi could eat a snake nearly her size, and be perfectly fine. She's....lumpy, but she's fine.






At least Mwezi's okay. I can't blame her, of course- she was just doing what comes natural. I'll still be sad for awhile about my tiny baby, though.
