so, remember rippley?  my new baby water snake?  We were doing everything right, feeding him fish that didn’t have thiaminase in them every three days, making sure he had plenty of water, making sure the humidity was spot on, the temp was perfect georgia weather (cause that’s where these nerds live).

I just found him upside down and dead in his viv tonight going to top off his water bowls.

I’m done.  First corn chip and now rippley.  Apparently I’m just not meant to have a fucking baby snake i guess.
