With sadness, we share the loss of Taco the California kingsnake.

Taco was estimated to have hatched in 2013, making him around 13 years old at the time of his passing. Previously a privately owned pet, Taco was surrendered to ZooMontana in 2018.

California kingsnakes have an estimated wild lifespan of around 10-15 years; often longer in human care. However, for many reptiles produced through the pet trade, selective breeding and poor genetics can contribute to lifelong health challenges. Over the past several months, Taco experienced a series of progressive medical complications. Despite ongoing veterinary care and management, his condition continued to decline. After careful evaluation, his care team made the decision to humanely euthanize Taco.

Taco was an incredible member of the Ambassador Animal team, traveling with staff to educate on not only snakes, but also the importance of responsible pet ownership. Taco was deeply admired by his team, who loved to watch him investigate his surroundings with deep curiosity.

It is with deep sadness that we announce the loss of Sofi, the thirteen-year-old Amur tiger. Following a recent and rapid decline in her health, our dedicated Animal Care and Veterinary teams made the difficult decision to humanely euthanize Sofi.

Over the past several weeks, Sofi’s Animal Care Team observed changes in her behavior, with increased lethargy and inappetence serving as the first indications of a decline in her health. In response, the team immediately began providing round-the-clock supportive care and conducting diagnostic testing. Unfortunately, Sofi’s condition declined rapidly, and at this time, an official diagnosis for the cause of her health decline is not yet available.

Sofi and her sister Jasmine were born on November 4, 2012, at a facility in Florida before arriving at ZooMontana in May of 2014 at just over one year old. Sofi was deeply cherished by the members of her Care Team and by all who had the opportunity to spend time with her. She will be remembered for her love of rolling in clove, her playful habit of turning evening shifts indoors into a game, and her signature chuffs, which her Care Team often described as one of the best sounds in the world. Sofi leaves behind her sister, Jasmine, who will now remain ZooMontana’s only Amur tiger.
