The very first pair or corns i ever sold, near on 24 years ago went to a friend of mine i used to work for.
Sadly Paul died a few years ago just weeks after retiring, today his last corn he bought from me died, aged 24!

In fairness, i know for sure they both had a wonderful home, and i really couldnt have wanted a better place for them to go, i feel sad as the snake was always Pauls, even after he died, and even though his wife never wanted or really liked them, she looked after them.

I remember the day he had them, he was so chuffed with them.

I feel sad now!

RIP Paul, and Isis.

I think that having a loving home for 24 years has to be the best that any Corn Snake could wish for!! What a touching story! RIP Paul and Isis.

RIP Paul and Isis. I guess they are looking after each other again now. 24 years is fantastic and a true testament to Pauls and his wifes care. I bet she misses the snake more than she lets on

Indeed, they were both exceptionally well cared for! Pauls wife works at the local Tesco, we used to chat about the snakes when I went shopping!!

You'd be surprised how short the queue stayed when we talked about snakes!!!!!
