I had even given him a name, thinking he'd be fine. The vet was surprised, too, and thought that it might have been the stress of the force feeding that finally knocked him out. I can only hope I didn't cause him too much suffering in his short life and comfort myself by trying to think that I did everything I could. Maybe he just wasn't supposed to survive.

I gave him a beautiful grave by the sea and put a heavy rock on top. I dug the grave in the middle of the night, it was raining and the forest paths were flooded and I ruined my shoes for him. I'm so sorry for the poor little snake. :cry: I hope he's in snake heaven now, playing happily with his sister who died a few weeks ago. I still feel like crying when I think about it.
You're an amazing person. Twiggy was lucky to have you. I'm sure you did you best you could, I'm really proud of you You're my hero.
