Re: horrible accident
Hi~
I'm new to the forum and have just been reading and learning from you guys, but this was so sad I just had to write. So sorry to hear about your snake--like all have said don't blame yourself, accidents happen.
When I was younger a cousin was staying at our house and he accidentally let one of our corn snakes, Emily, escape while trying to hold her. Because he wasn't supposed to be handling the snake without supervision he didn't say anything so as not so get into trouble. Later that evening my mom killed poor Emily by catching her in the sliding glass door. The curtain was too long and was always getting caught so she thought that was what was stopping the door and she yanked it shut. Now my mom was not (and is not) really an animal person, and simply put up with our reptiles because she thought they'd be better than a lot of other kinds of pets, but she was absolutely devastated when she realized what had happened. We all were, especially my poor cousin who really liked the snakes and felt horribly guilty. Anyway, kind of a depressing story, but my point is really just to say horrible accidents happen and it's definately not your fault and will be a good lesson for everyone here.
Sincerely~
Angela
