    Ziggy

    I fear that poor Ziggy...the snake that my neighbors brought over...is dying. I have done what I can for her. She has been eating, but she still looks really thin and tonight she was just lying with her head down breathing out of the side of her open mouth. I put some moist moss in and some new hides to try to make her comfortable...but I am not sure what more I can do. I'm not even sure what is wrong with her. She has just seemed very sickly since she was brought to me.

    Sorry to hear that... Maybe there is nothing you can do... She might just be a really old snake. With out taking her to the vet n spending all your money on tests after tests, there may be just nothing they find. Thing about wild caught snakes (As you know very well) is that you don't know what they've been through or how old they are or anything.

    If she does pass on you just know n find comfort in the fact you mad her comfortable n gave her awesome free, easy to catch meals.

    Sorry to hear Ziggy isn't doing very well. She was probably sick when you got her.
    Comfort is about all you can do at this poin

    Just let her do what she needs to do. Mother nature can seem cruel at times, but death is always for a reason. Sometimes we just don't know why. Sorry to hear the bad news.

    Sorry to hear this Marnie. I'm glad she's had a nice place to stay and some one to take care of her for the past while.

    Its sad when all you can do is make them comfortable, and its not enough.best
    Just keep in mind how good it feels when they do recover, and know you did your best.

    Oh. Because you know, it seems to me that, aside
    from being a little mentally ill, she's pretty normal.
