Yesterday I had to put down one of my ball pythons, her name was Riven, she was so sweet, as a snake could be anyway.
She had a disease that made her life painful and would have eventually killed her but slowly so I decided it was the right thing to to. I tried to save her for months but my vet said they're was no point in trying anymore.
I hope she's happy in heaven.
Rest in peace Riven.

I'm so sorry to read this very sad news today, zERo, my condolences go out to you on your loss of Riven. You did everything you possibly could have done for her, and made the right decision to spare her any more pain, so I hope you can take some comfort in that, although I know it's never ever easy. May Riven be greeted with love on the other side, I'm so sorry for your loss πŸ™

I’m so sorry, she sounded amazing, and snakes have much more personality than people think they do. Rest is Peace, Riven, I’m sure you were a wonderful snake.

Zero, you have such a big heart, and you really did do your best. Sending hugs.

I’m so sorry that you had to put down your ball python. That would have been extremely hard to do. I’m really so sorry and I hope that you know that you aren’t alone and that I, and many others in the forum, feel your pain. Thank you for your comments on my posts before too. This forum really provides comfort from people who understand the pain. You are not alone in your grieving.
