Sad Loss Tonight

[bigguy]

A few hours ago I unfortunately found my old Olive Python female dead in her cage. I obtained this female from Kevin Smith as a mature adult in 1989 and breed her sucsessfully from 1990 till 2005. During these years she produced over 360 eggs(this has to be a record for and Olive) and her decendants are now all over Eastern Australia. Many on this site would have her young or even their siblings. She will be missed. RIP Grandma.

Sorry to hear that, but I'm glad she had such a fulfilling life.

yea , sorry to hear that . After 360 eggs she deserves some kind of State Funeral.

That's a shame, 360 eggs sounds like a strong legacy to leave behind though.

I am sure she will live on in memory and in her offspring.

Thats sad news Bob. what a champion that girl was though, 360 eggs and she lived to a ripe old age too.
But its always sad to loose an animal, especially one you've had for so long.
