This is a sad day for me. My second ever snake has passed over to the vivarium in the sky!!

He was a Grey Rat Snake and i named him Dionysus after the Greek God of Strength, i had him for over 18 years and he was adult when i got him.

R.I.P Crying or Very sad

Doesn't sound silly at all. I know the feeling exactly. I lost a rat I was particularly attached to (out of countless rats I've owned... I don't like favouritism but he was different) a couple of years ago. I cried so hard, he was more of a friend to me than most of my actual 'friends' at the time Wink

He's been immortalised in ink on my ribcage now Laughing
