Solomon

It is with sadness that we advise that Solomon the boa-constrictor, the icon of the Hub Library for over 25 years, has succumbed to an infection. His owner who now lives in Queensland, had been in discussion with the caring vet while Solomon had been undergoing treatment to try and assist his condition. We know the local community will grieve this loss. Solomon was over 40 years old. Research tells us that this is a significant milestone for a boa-constrictor held in captivity and so he's had a long and comfortable life. The Hub staff are sad to see one of their long standing team members leave us.
