RIP Duncan
I knew this day was coming sooner rather than later. She had gotten slower with age, she was 27, and gone off feed more often and longer than her norm over the past few months. But it seems it was a peaceful passing. She was slowly cruising her cage that morning as I left for the day, nothing out of her norm as she found a comfy spot to spend the day. I found her that evening curled under her heat panel (RIP 11/14/2019). I was fortunate to have my hissy grumpy girl longer than most. ❤️

Sorry for your loss.
Glad you you were able to enjoy for so long.
The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

Re: RIP Duncan
RIP Duncan.
So sorry for your loss Dianne. My deepest condolences to you and my thoughts are with Duncan slithering across the Rainbow Bridge.
It's never easy losing an animal and I don't remember if you had Duncan the full 27 years, but if I recall, it was a long journey you had together.
Regardless, may your heart and mind be blessed with many happy memories. Find solace in the fact that Duncan went peacefully and you were an awesome Snarent to Duncan.
I hate this part about keeping animals. It hurts so much when we lose them, but I know, as I am sure you do, that time helps bring out the happy reminiscences. As the wound of losing an animal heals, the ability to honor them and think of them calmly and fondly, not just fondly, returns.
I wish you the best in this healing process.

Re: RIP Duncan
My condolences for your loss, losing an animal is never easy. If you need to talk, I'm here.
Twenty-seven years is a good, full life for a boa. You did a great job with her. It's heartening to see someone care for their snakes so well and for so long.
Rest in peace, Duncan.

Re: RIP Duncan
For those that wondered, I had her for 26 of her 27 years. An ex-boyfriend bought her because I was into snakes. 🙄 He kept her most of her first year, then gave her to me. Back then we mistakenly thought she was a he. By the time I knew different, I was used to calling her Duncan, so the name stuck. 😁
She has always been my most talkative grumpy girl. Hissed almost every time I touched her or took her out. That said, she only bit me once or twice and that was in the first couple of years. I’m definitely going to miss her.
