Scale rot healed, now she's/he's turning yellow!

I'd really like to find out what those complications were, but I'll probably never know. I did try to get her out of this slump that she was in for about 4 months, and at one point after a shed she ate and seemed back to her old self, but not for long.
 
That seems to be how older snakes go, though. They just slow down and pass without much fuss. I'm sorry for your loss. If it makes you feel any better, she had a nice, stress-free life with you. In the wild, her chances of surviving even one year are very slim, and then she would have predators, parasites- heat, cold- even the stress of reproduction. With you, she had nothing to worry about for many, many years. The fact that she lived so long is testament to your good care.
 
Oh, I am so sorry for your loss. You did right by her, let her live a great life uncomplicated by living in the wild and providing her with a happy, healthy safe life.
 
Haven't thought of that lately.

If old age killed,.......Methuselah must have been a pretty fast sprinter until his 969th year.
