    You've got to get another snake. If not, you will always have the fear of losing another snake. Insure your husbandry is correct. Make sure your temps are spot on. Buy from someone local that can give you assistance if needed. Take a deep breath and believe that everything wil be okay.

    Good Luck!

    I agree there was something wrong with her to begin with. It's hard loosing something so precious. But, remember that she isn't suffering anymore. Give it a little time, and when you feel you are ready, jump right back into it. They are wonderful creatures, and hopefully you will get a healthy one this time. Good Luck!

    Please be sure to disinfect everything with bleach solution, and throw away anything that cannot be disinfected. It is important that any new snake you bring home has a home free of disease or parasites, and you don't know why your first snake failed to thrive.
