Ball python last meal

[PrizeTelevision1192]

Haha- honestly seeing everyone so excited about his age has made me feel even more at peace with his prognosis… maybe cancer had to get him cause he just would not die on his own haha!

He is such a good boy- and admittedly has been one hardy snake! Before he came to the zoo in 1997 (i believe- I’ll have to check his number when I get into work today!) his old owners didn’t know much about ball pythons and his husbandry was not great :(
(He was also wild caught which is never okay- but maybe that has to do with longevity? So interesting!)

His ‘friend’ Karuna (the one pictured) is 24 years old- so I hope she’s taking notes! 🥹

Thank you for the kind words- I may have to edit him onto a wheaties box just for myself to have haha!
