Last night when I went to turn his night lamp on, I found my Angus dead. He was approx., 12 years old. The only thing odd that we had noticed is, this past Tuesday I saw him with his mouth open and he threw up clear liquid. Only saw him do it once. He wouldn't eat 2 days later, just ignored his mouse. He seemed ok, moving fine, muscle tone seemed good, and then he was gone the next day. Any thoughts? He will be sadly missed.

Oh no. I'm so sorry! I'm not experienced with health issues, so I can't be helpful, but I wanted to give my sympathy. It's always so sad when we lose a pet, especially one you've had for so long!

It never gets old!
I'm so sorry for your loss. Don't let anyone ever tell you that he was "just a snake". Do take your grief seriously. You have lost a beloved friend and my heart goes out to you. There are pet grief sites all over the Internet and though geared to dogs and cats many of the insights into the process are universal.
If you have any pictures or stories about Angus that you'd like to share when you are ready, this is a great forum to do that on. You can still post in the corn snake photo gallery even if he's no longer living.
Just so you know, while the age up to 20 years (and maybe even longer) is frequently given so those getting a snake know the commitment they are making, 12 years is a long life. That's 4 more years than they generally live in the wild. Without a necropsy there is no way to know what the problem was. Just be assured that he lived to old age in snake years and that you gave him the best life you could.
Hugs and my very best to you.
