slithering across the rainbow bridge

Early this morning I kept waking up thinking that I needed to put water in my snake's bowl. This was untrue, as I had just done so the previous day.

When I left for work I can't honestly say I looked at her terrarium. When I came home she was dead.

She was 15 years old, which is pretty venerable for a corn snake, so I believe it was old age... I'm not going to bother with a necropsy. I had a good vet for her who brought her back from some serious problems in the past, but she just didn't seem sick this time.

This was a pet I had since I was 11 (I'm now 26). So yeah. This sucks.
