All good things.
It has been quite a while since I have had the unhappy need to post here, but tonight, my largest female BCI, Perdidta gave me that need. She had not been doing well for quite some time, but I never could figure out exactly what it was... I chalked it up to old age... it is hard to guess just how old she was, but somewhere between 15-20 years old as close as I can estimate.
I went into the snake room today to find her belly-up.
With the help of my dear friend Gib, I preformed her necropsy, and she had some huge tumor like lesions on her lungs and intestines. She also had a full intestinal blockage that I don't think we would have stood a chance of finding. I am putting the blockage down as cause of death, but the cancerous tumors could not have helped anything.
I will leave you with a pic of Perdita, the Queen of my Snakes.

Aw man, that really sucks. I know how much you cared for her. It's always hard to lose a pet you've had for a long time. She had a great home for as long as she was in your home. She was a beautiful snake.

Morti,
I know how concerned you were about Perdita lately and watching how you and LadyDragon take care of your snakes, I can see they have a good home with you. It was just Perdita's time to go.
That hurts no matter when it happens and she lived a long life.

I can't say enough how much this sucks my man. I know how much you loved Perdita and it crushed me to hear this. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to call.
