Nala

Nala was a king snake whose calm, ancient presence graced our home for seventeen remarkable years. She wasn't just a pet; she was a connection to the wild, a reminder of nature's patience and mystery. Nala moved through her terrarium with deliberate grace, observing our human world with what seemed like reptilian wisdom. Her peaceful passing at an advanced age feels natural but no less painful. The terrarium sits empty now, but her memory fills it with the quiet beauty she embodied. Our home feels less connected to the natural world without her watching presence. Nala taught us about patience, about quiet observation, and that companionship comes in many forms. She was our link to the ancient world, our calm center, and a unique friend we were privileged to know.
