It's not been a good day

[guidofatherof5]

Thanks guys. I absolutely adored that snake she used to love to be held and carried even though she was wc. she would come up to the edge of her tank and greet me every day. i just cant believe shes gone she was the biggest eastern id ever seen to she was 4 inches under 4 feet long.

I know what you mean by a wc taming down. I have a couple of adult females that came into the Ranch calm. From the moment I picked them up. I can't explain why but for some reason they don't feel threatened by me or my family. Even the dog. Now that's surprising. I can have one of them on the couch with me and a couple kids. The dog will come right up to the snake and she'll just ignore the dog.
That's a calm/confident/secure snake.

Sorry for your loss. Like Jeff said, 7 Years is a long time for a snake to live. I have a 10 year old Iowa snow plains and a ltc similis that I got 10 years ago as an adult, she is probably 12 or 13 now.

Were they housed together??

If so I have seen this. They get so used to having each other in the enclosure, that when one is suddenly gone, they will notice.

It subsides with time.

Much the same they will also behave differently when introduced to a new cage mate.
