RiP cali king :(

[DaveM]

my california kingsnake, my first snake had only eaten 3 times in 5 months, I went to get it out to try force feeding as a last ditch attempt, and it was dead, I've had that snake since it was a hatchling and it was full grown when it died, 6 years old Rip little dude

[Joey]

Ah yeh I know! :]] gor how can you not name a pet! I only have some Fish now =P don't like pets dying, so stopped getting them. Surprisingly my fish are still going strong. I thought they died really quick.

 

[DaveM]

it's different with a snake, they don't respond to a name, so even if they are named you tend not to use it

 

[Mrs Behavin]

Awe Im sorry

Im not a big fan of snakes (they scare the poop out of me) but its still sad when you lose a pet and Im sorry to hear that

 

[DaveM]

Are they quite aggressive or not really? Always found snakes fascinating, but would never get one haha!

depends on the snkae really, like people, you get 2 specimens of the same species, one can be a complete psycho nd the other as soft as shit, they all have different personallities, kingsnakes are what's referred to as food agressive, when the feeding response is going they bite anything that moves

Yeh see... I couldn't handle that! Not very good with things like snakes and spiders

 

[Breath]

Aww, sorry about that. It's cool that you raised it from the very beginning though. Did it die younger than most snakes of that type or was that a usual life expectancy?

 

[Suzie]

Im sorry to hear that. Its hard losing a pet.
