Totally. I'm not usually that sentimental, but on my way in to work this morning I just had a strong desire to write something about my snake, and to articulate my sadness as well as my guilt. I have to admit I was surprised I found my self tearing up as I typed, which was awkward given I share my office space with 4 others.Originally Posted by QuiccStrike911
I have never been to this site, and simply selected the first Google result for "Ball Python forum" since I felt this would be one of the best bets for people to read about him and have some understanding, as well perhaps put myself out there in front of people who actually love and care for their pets much better than I did. (Not that I didn't love him, I did, I was just chronically irresponsible) It makes me feel better and worse at the same time.
After reading many of the other posts here I regret that so many who did everything right lost their pets after several years, or even months, while I, despite my neglectful ways lucked into an animal that lived so long.
Anyway, thanks for all your comments. And more importantly to me, for taking the time to read about "Snake"... (my daughters the one who dubbed him "Snaky", to me he was always just "Snake". I hope despite his inconsistent caring he had a generally good life.
