I'm sorry for your loss. I find that it's really hard to work up the nerve to try another snake of a kind that didn't make it. I really want to get more Cal. Kings, but after my girl died... well, at least I have the male that I got at the same time, and he's doing wonderfully. I really have to wonder how many of the young ones that don't make it have something wrong internally, and there's just no way for them to thrive.
