Some sad news to report: Angel/Zeke the East Bay Vivarium's two-headed snake has died, one day shy of their 1st birthday. RIP Angel/Zeke. You were the coolest snakes 🐍 🙏 www.sfchronicle.com/totalsf/arti...

Sign that I’m a maturing late-career journalist: Didn’t submit the original lead that said the snakes “passssssssed away.” At age 27 I would have submitted it, argued with editor who cut it, then moped around the office like a victim for three days. www.sfchronicle.com/totalsf/arti...

So many times, it happens too fast You trade your passion for glory Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past You must fight just to keep them alive

Oh man. I'm sorry Peter. I know nobody who loves the two-headed snakes of the Bay Area more than you. It's a sad day for all of us.

I so wanted those snakes to end up at Cal Academy for the next 20+ years ...
