RIP Sam Snake - 1994(??) - 2012
I'm sorry to have to report that Sam, the oldest of my snakes, died some time yesterday afternoon. He was eighteen or nineteen and had been refusing to eat for some time, so it wasn't entirely a surprise - but it's always sad when a pet dies. I'm not sure of his exact age, I first met him in 1995 when he was a couple of years old and adopted him in 1996.
Sam is on the right and wrapped around his mate Cornelia (who died a few years ago) in the picture above - I don't seem to have a good recent picture, unfortunately.
He's survived by his daughter Murphy, born 1998, her boyfriend Cobb (also 1998 and hopefully not a close relative), and various other children and grandchildren, I couldn't begin to give a count now.
