I'm so sorry to hear about Monty, I know he was a much loved python. Don't worry kids are real little battlers and will be feeling better soon, take care of yourself mate.
Matt.
Cwarren, thanks for your thoughts mate and i return them too, its devastating to lose an animal like we both have. Dont despair mate, thats nature, sometimes cruel. Keep your chin up.
Parko and everybody else, thanks for your heartfelt support, its made alot of difference to know im not alone with it. best wishes to all.

Mate sorry to hear about your lose,man i can remember reading the ins and outs of monty way back when i first joined,kind of like an old friend..It makes it a little harder to accept when you know in your mind you've done the best you can and something still happens..But unfortunately we deal with living beings in this hobby and as much as we dont like it, somethings are out of our control no matter what
Best to you and the family....
