Ella is a Southern Pine Snake. She has lived at the reptile centre with her mate Louis since 2008. They were mature when they arrived so Ella could be 15 now. They had beautiful babies and my Daniel Pine is one of their daughters.
They are older snakes and sadly Louis died a year ago. Ella has been fine, but lately she is showing her age.
This is Ella in the picture when she still looked her best.

She is looking old now and tired. So tonight I brought her home. It is quieter at my place and she likes me. I figure she can live out her last months, maybe even years, with me.
Louis is actually buried in my garden so when the time comes Ella can rest with him.
Ella is a special snake and I wanted her to live out her days in peace where she is loved.
