Delilah, my female Spitfire Irian Jaya passed away today. A mysterious lump formed in her about 5 months ago, and seems to have taken her life. She spent about a month of that with a well qualified reptile vet, but in the end it did no good. Although several tests were run, there was no answer as to what it was. He said this was the most perplexing thing he had ever seen and that her future did not look bright. She was one of my favorite snakes and I miss her terribly. I was having one of the best days of my life and then got hit by this. RIP Delilah.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I am just glad to see that she is no longer suffering.
On a lighter note, that same day, her brother was breeding a female from a friend.:rockon:
