Didn't know where to post, but here it is...RIP Lavoux

[JamieLynn]

Its been a long time since I've been on here, I used to spend all my free time on this forum...Now I just feel too sad to look at all the nice snakes. In early Oct I lost my first BP, Lavoux. I was living with someone who doesn't like snakes, and one night they unplugged all her heating stuff. the next day i found her frozenin a ball on her heat mat.
My husband and I had her creamated. After 2 months without her our lives just don't feel the same. If I tell anyone why I feel so upset about loosing her they give me that hole evil stupid snake speach, then I get angry and tell them I should kill thier dog and see how they like it.
I just miss her so much.

I' so sorry to hear about the loss of you precious BP. These are beautiful and amazing creatures, and your sense of loss is valid and very real.

It's frightening to think that some one who called themselves a friend would do anything as devastating and cruel as harm your beloved pet. Hopefully Lavoux's suffering was short and she will always be in your memory.

I don't know if you have any legal recourse where you live, but what your friend did was unthinkable, and I'm glad that you feel comfortable enough to share your story among friends here.

My condolences and prayers go out to you. I cannot even imagine losing my Seth.
How warm is your house? Bp's shouldnt die in even 36 hours in the 60's.

That person does not sound like a friend. I would consider taking legal action.

Sad story, I hate when I lose any of my animals, but to lose one like that has to be tough... When the time is right you will get back in the hobby where you belong

That is such a terrible shame. With friends like that who needs enemies?

How cold did it get in her room to kill her that way? That just seems unreal.

I hope that as time heals your heart, you may yet find room in it for a new baby to love.

RIP. I'm sorry. If someone did that to mine I would slap the (insert unnecessary word here) out of them. Sorry.

Oh yes somebody would pay if that happened to me. "Oh I'm sorry if your car died, did i accidentally unplug every hose and electrical wire?"

I'm very sorry for your loss and no joke or mean anecdote is going to bring your buddy back, just know that we all understand and think the same way you do.

First, I'm am so, so terribly sorry about you losing your precious. All of us at BP.net are feeling for you, and I hope this Christmas doesn't turn out to be a bummer. Just surround yourselves with loved ones. It will all look up soon, and I hope you somehow find justice for little Lavoux.

Second, that disgusts me, but doesn't appall me. I have seen and experienced people like that. Not to sound full of myself, or psychotic, but if anyone tried, or succeeded, in doing such a thing to my animals, someone WOULD get hurt. And it wouldn't be me.

Nothing angers me more than abusing or killing animals for personal gain. This brings me back to a video I saw of a bull in Spain whose horns were lit on fire for sport.

Oye...oh my goodness...that is just horrible and I am sorry for your loss! Both the snake and the reality of who your "friend" really is. Both are terribly hard. I am sure you tend to question your ability to choose friends when one does something like this. Let me assure you there are lots of well disguised horrible ppl out there that we all do not figure out until something bad happens. (clearly been there sister!)

Again I cannot even imagine how you feel about the loss of your snake....I am so sorry!!

Very sorry for your loss
