as silly as it sounds it just seemed like bags were disrespectful so i thought a blanket would lesson that. I hope when she is cremated she is taken with the blanket and removed from the bags. I got that blanket for her when she got sick and couldnt have substrate. Its a cloth blanket I put on the bottom of her cage on the hot end so she could be comfortable. Its stupid I know but it seemed to help her when she was in pain, it kept it soft when she couldnt correct her balance, at least it kept her side from having to lay on the hard floor.

thanks wayne. I am currently looking at this boa a local shop has, everyone ignores her because shes blind and no one wants a blind snake. I may take her so i can grieve through her. I want to give another snake a chance. I am hoping it may help ease the pain because right now I randomly cry and just feel like an absolute idiot

I'd rethink getting a special needs snake, if you ever want to breed when he or she gets older with that snake you have a connection to you want something with no problems.

One day you will "get it"

I know several people with blind snakes, kinked spine snakes, etc.

It's not about breeding, it's about caring.

I had a snake for years I named "twisty" because her spine had a 180 degree kink in it, when she crawled around the first half of her looked just fine, but the second half was upside down (hence "twisty")

She functioned just fine for almost 4 years before she died.

That was 4 years longer than she would had the breeder culled her.

I also have a snake that was born with only one eye and several runts that will never get big.

They don't seem to mind being misfits.

Not everyone wants to breed. I for one will never breed snakes and I would happily rescue a blind or kinked snake. You don't seem to understand basic human compassion.... I have read that in a few of your post.

Not everyone keeps animals just for the profit they can make, keeping pets is about love and connection with that animal

I like that idea, I wouldn't hesitate to take in a blind snake.
I give you alot of credit for considering it.
Im sorry to hear about your loss.
