My snake has died

[NeedaNewName]

Thats it really, more sad than I thought I'd be.

We actually thought he's died the other night but he came round - I guess he was already on his way out - wish I'd not been so stupid and realised, would have got him to the vet, cos tonight he's definitely gone.

But what do I do now? I can't put him in the bin but am worried that if I bury him a fox or soemthng will dig him up.

Any advice?

sorry about your snake, if you dig deep enough he should be safe from predators

Bury him quite deep...in a box?

Poor snakey.

Sorry about snake, losing any pet can be hard How long did you have him?
I think like south said if you dig deep enough he should be safe, might also be an idea to cover the grave with a stone or somesuch to make doubly sure.

Oh im so sorry. I keep snakes and i think people are suprised at just how attached you can be to something most people consider cold.

What breed is he?

I had 2 baby royals and one died. we put him in a shoe box and wrapped that in cling film before burying him.

Obviously if he's a bit bigger then you would need to adjust that.
As long as he is airtight and the hole is deep enough it should be ok.

I got him about 9 1/2 years ago when he was about 1 so very young for a corn snake. Am feeling quite guilty as he was probably neglected these last couple of months - had food and water but didn't pay as much attention as I should have done.

Will find a box this evening to bury him in.

Thanks everyone

He's a corn snake about 4 1/2 foot long.

Corn snakes don't grow too big (i have a californian ghost) so he would probably fit in an adult boot box.

Mine is shedding at the moment but i have an urge to go give him a cuddle now.

i really feel for you
