I am losing Rosie Pine Snake.

[Catherine]

Rosie has been a strong healthy snake and it is a slow process for the body of a reptile to shut down. Daniel and I are watching him die a little every day. It is beautiful how devoted Daniel is. It is only a matter of time now. I have learned to recognize the signs of a snake dying. It is odd, but like us, snakes don't all age at the same rate. Daniel is still strong and healthy.
Rosie has been such a beautiful snake and so gentle. He will be missed.
