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. |

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!!!!! |

| 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 |

| 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. |
