Thought you might like to see some old pics of the Borneo I used to have. Kina was the sweetest snake but sadly passed away about 6 months ago to a chronic mouth rot infection, which was later diagnosed as granulocytic sarcoma, a type of snake leukemia that manifests in the bone marrow. She was missing tissue on the left lip from a surgery to remove necrotic tissue, but I took all her pics from the right. In retrospect, I should have taken some pictures of the worst of her flare-ups so that others could see and know what to look for. But they were so awful looking, I never could bear to do it. Enjoy.

The last picture I took of her...from pretty far away. Again because she looked pretty bad at that point. She was going to the vet for her euthanasia the next day.
