This actually just happened a few months back a good friend on another forum passed suddenly his family wanted nothing to do with his collection. His best friend came in and took the snakes to care for them so the family could just mourn.
He contacting the forum in which he talked on often, offering us all the snakes - at a great price, and the money went to his kids.
It was really cool and I am the proud owner of one of his babies. He was a good guy and funny to beat all hell.
He would have loved knowing we all got a piece of his collection and he would have got a kick out of us all fighting over his babies.
With that sad R.I.P man.
Now for me and my family I am pretty lucky our collection is just that ‘ours’.
There is myself, hubby and our 18year old son.
If something was to happen to any one of us (god forbid) then the others may choose to do what they want with the snakes… there goes my GTP.
We got into it as a family and it stays in the family.. However if something happened and we all 3 died (again god forbid) no one wants the snakes..lol..
