No worries man. It's always the first ones that really get us huh?
I don't know what I would do if I ever lost my first snake. I honestly love that snake more than any other pet I've ever had. I'm sure he'd be glad to see what him coming into your home started and the love you have for your other animals. I feel the same way towards people who practice poor husbandry and then act like it doesn't affect the animals....... It disgusts me and I have a tendency to get a little frustrated sometimes with some of the posts on here.
