As per my previous post, I tried the olive oil and trying to break the wood, but there wasnt anyway i could do is safely. Anyway all his struggling got the best of him, i think some internal damage must have been done, because i found him dead today.
Still in shock, never had a pet die before, blame myself slightly cos i feel there must have been one more think i could have done....
ill keep a look on here... cant ever replace him but not sure if im fit to have a snake after this... see you guys in a bit. |

Very sorry to hear what happened to Albi, Lee. Could you have done more? Perhaps, and that is what we keep thinking about after such a terrible thing. What matters most though, is that you did what you thought was right, even came here and asked for more advice, and tried even more to help him get out. That it didn't help in the end is awful, but you did all you knew and all you could, and that is what really matters in the end. I'm glad to read that the whole thing hasn't put you off keeping snakes, and having a little break before getting a new one is a very respectable thing to do.
At least Albi is at peace now, and I hope you will find / have found peace of mind as well.

Oh Lee, I'm so sorry about what happened to Albi  . I haven't been on for a bit so only just found out. I can't imagine how you must be feeling but PLEASE don't keep beating yourself up about it. What's happened has happened and you can't do anything to change it. You need to forgive yourself. An outcome of it is that you've brought to attention something that we all need to be aware of, having things in our vivs that might cause problems. Unfortunately our snakes don't always know what's best for them so I'm not surprised that he tried going in his old hide and I'm just so sorry that you then had the awful ordeal of watching him try to get out, trying to help him unsuccessfully and then finding him gone. I can't think of anything else you could have done to release him, you truly did your best.
Please don't let this put you off keeping corns. You can never replace Albi and I know you wouldn't want to, but you would be offering a new corn a wonderful home. As for you not being 'fit' to have another snake....stop talking such utter *******   !! It's been so obvious to us how much you cared for Albi and did everything you could for him  . Another corn would be blessed to have you as it's owner, but only when you're ready.
Xxx

Very sorry to hear about your loss. You did all you could and sometimes tragedies just happen, though I know that doesn't make it any easier. I hope that once you have had some time you will find another beautiful corn to love.

So sorry to hear about this  I hope this doesn't put you off getting another one, it was not your fault! I can understand how you feel though. I'd be the same. I'd be thinking "What if I could have done more?" or "What if I'd not put the log back in?" so I know exactly how you feel.
mjpeters Looks creamsicle stripe to me. Creamisicles vary so much. Two Creamsicle picture from Ians viv just to show how much they vary. I now these aren't stripes but there are no Creamsicle Stripes on IV.
Pale - http://iansvivarium.com/morphs/species/elaphe_guttata/creamsicle/pics/creamsicle-a.jpg
Dark - http://iansvivarium.com/morphs/species/elaphe_guttata/creamsicle/images/CreamsicleHetAnery.JPG
And then here's a Creamsicle with her eggs to show how caramel in colour they can be. It depends on the genetics.

But back to cobweb - There is also the sspca to think about if you consider rehoming :) If there is one near you that is. I personally am geographically challenged :D aha |

Don.t lose confidence, and re-homing a snake gives you a sense of giving back and offering care where its really needed |
