Slinky, the best creamsicle corn snake in the world, passed away today, age 14. Samuel got him when they were both young. At the time, in May 2008, Slinky was the size of a pencil. At his death, he was over six feet long. Four days ago, a tumor burst forth by his tail, leaving a bloody trail in his tank. It caught us by sruprise. We were working on getting him diagnosed, with surgery to follow, when he passed away at the vet's. He was fascinating to watch as he moved about, and he could also be an escape artist, especially in spring, when he went looking for snakes of the female persuasion. We will miss his presence.
