Goodbye Diesel

Diesel passed peacefully this evening in his enclosure, likely due to old age (yes, a necropsy will be performed, just to be sure). For those of you who aren't familiar with Diesel, he was my rescued Argentine boa. His estimated age was between 25 and 35 years old, although there is no real way of knowing.
Goodbye, Diesel, I will miss your grumpy attitude.

Re: Goodbye Diesel

I read the other responses and can only think 1 thing. Good for him. Thats old. He must have been very well taken care of. Good for you for having him. Good for him ti have lived so long. I always try celebrate the life instead of mourn the death. Sorry you'll miss him but WOW he was old.
I hope you understand what I mean otherwise I might be coming across as just cold hearted.
