im so sad.
i have (had) 2 pythons, i "rescued" them from my nephew who took pretty bad care of them. looks like i suck too.
One is a pretty big guy, Col. Kurtz is 3 1/2 feet, the other one who just died was much smaller, Mr. Squeezy was just a cute little guy maybe 18". They were really happy together. first i just had Kurtz, then my nephew gave me the little one, they were honestly happier together...they snuggled and everything. I didn't feed them that often, once a month or so...sometime more...sometime less. They both ate live rodents (yeah i know, i know) with no problems. Both great eaters until recently. In september I fed them a whole bunch of mice...I think big guy had 6 little guy maybe 4. The next day i found a bunch were regurgitated...yuk, awful! I assumed it was big guy who regurgitated. we went on vacation for a few weeks. then last weekend i fed them again, only 2 or 3 mice each. Later that day 2 were regurgitated...i didnt see who did it but again i assumed it was the big guy. Then this morning i found little guy dead!! I'm so sad. I guess it was him who had been doing the regurgitation all along...this means he hadnt eaten in months. (but he caught and ate the mice faster then the big guy!) I should have fed them seperately so i could track who did what (what i used to do until i got lazy and just fed them together) . I should have noticed that Squeezy wasn't getting any bigger. I should have paid more attention to them. Now squeezys dead and Kurtz is all alone.
I'm 33 year old man and I've been on the verge of crying all day beacuse of a my little dead snake.
