Please no comments about how you don't like snakes, I loved her just as dearly as I love my dog and cats. I'll "spoiler" so no one has to read if they are afraid of/don't like snakes

I woke up this morning to find that my beautiful girl Eden died last night. We recently moved cross country via car and her and my other snake, Dexter, never fully bounced back. On top of that, I have reason to believe that their thermostat malfunctioned last night. While I was expecting this to happen sooner rather than later due to the move issues, I'm still very upset. I got Eden from a very neglectful home three years ago and pulled her from death's door over the course of two months and got her happy, healthy, and thriving. I feel at peace knowing that she had a much better second half of life than her first but she had so much life ahead of her... I'm worried that my other snake will pass in the next few days as well due to the same complications and that thought is very upsetting. I've raised Dex from a hatchling and up until the move he was in perfect health. I keep kicking myself because I considered rehoming them in my home state for fear of this exact issue but couldn't find it within myself to entrust them to a stranger so I was selfish and took them with me. In perfect conditions, they could live for up to 21 years and Dex is only 4 and Eden was only 6. I've had snake friends tell me that I did everything right and that moving them that far is always a gamble but I feel horrible because this gamble ended up with one death already and will most likely claim another. I'm sorry to dump all of my emotions here but none of my friends are really there for me right now with this and I guess I just needed to get it out. I have an event that I have to go to tonight but I'm kind of a wreck and don't know how that's going to go
