I would never wish the experience on anyone else, but it truly has made be a better keeper, and a little bit nuts about husbandry (to the point of obsession). I'm always checking temps and humidity, doing as much research as I can. My new girl ate her first meal on Sunday like a champ and seems to be settling in very nicely. Hoping for a nice, long, healthy life for her (and our future snakes, because you know you can't just have one).
