Re: What to do when your snake dies.

Two options:

1. Throw it away
2. Give it to a friend's monitor/snake eating snake if I can get there shortly there after.

Is this your professional medical opinion?

It's pretty much what I do with my patients that I'm not sure about.

Re: What to do when your snake dies.

Feed them to my monitors. I had a few in the freezer, had to clean it out.. It was painful to watch lizards eat snakes that were worth hundreds of dollars once, but when they are dead, either the bugs and worms are going to eat them, or the lizards so I fed them to the lizards.

Re: What to do when your snake dies.

Hi,
Just stumbled on this thread. What if the animal in question is decades old and was your first pet? No worries, my Hispaniolan (or Haitian, or Dominican) Boa, Rudy is still going strong and healthy; at 34 years old. I have thought once in long while if it would be better to just remember through photos, or preserve some part of him in some way (skin, stuff, etc.).
