I don't allow that last week of life to happen as starvation seems to me to be agonizing to the snake. I will put the snake down before they suffer too much.

I can only follow the human experience. It has been said that in the final days of dying that it is more painful for the family to watch the non-eating days than it is for the patient. I can only hope that the same rings true for other animal species besides ourselves. We have been told that it does not bother the patient. I hope this is true. Sometimes it hurts to care so much.
