Pythons are admired for their stunning patterns and colors. As large snakes, they need special care, including a spacious enclosure, precise temperature and humidity control, and a diet of suitable prey.
In a recent tweet by @mynewshub, Mohd Redzuan Abdullah, 39, is seen cherishing the final moments with his longtime companion, the pet python named Cik Kiah.
Redzuan has nurtured Cik Kiah since his teenage years, and after two decades, the beloved python took its last breath on December 27, 2023. The python, weighing 240 kilograms, marked the end of its remarkable journey.
Judging by the pictures, you can already imagine the sadness that someone has to go through after losing a friend who’s been with you for 20 years.
Many of us have a deep connection and affection for our animal companions. Our pets aren’t simply “just a dog” or “just a cat”; they are cherished members of our family, providing companionship, enjoyment, and happiness in our lives.
Not everyone may understand why a pet owner could feel sentimental about a snake, and that it might appear unusual to some. Nonetheless, online users are swift to express their love and support.
“Despite it being a python, I can understand where he’s coming from. He has raised it for 20 years.”
“This is so sad. He has been taking care of the snake for a long 20 years, treating it as if it were his own child.”
“It’s sad when the pets you’ve raised for years suddenly pass away. We feel in our hearts the love we have for them.”
