RIP Diamond

At 6:30 this morning I am sitting at the kitchen nook table starting my laptop to check on work. I look over at Diamond's cage and see that he doesn't look right... On Thursday of last week he shed and the skin was all in 1 piece. That is a great sign of a healthy snake. So we are really not sure what happened. We measured the skin and in the 4 or 5 years we have had him he has grown from 7" to 17". So by 7:30 this morning, I am digging a grave for a snake. I know most of you think I am crazy, but this is one of Tori's favorite pets. Never, never, never dull around my house...
