In Loving Memory of Apollo McNeely
Adopted 2019 – September 7, 2025
Forever My Sweet Boy 🐍❤️
In 2019, Apollo McNeely slithered his way into the heart of his mom, Julianna, and from that moment on, he became more than just a pet—he was family.
Apollo had a personality all his own, full of charm and quirks that made him unforgettable. His favorite “toy” was a simple tree branch, where he loved to stretch, climb, and explore. He had a playful and curious spirit, often joining his mom in her world by scrolling TikTok and even taking selfies, always ready to pose for the camera in his own snakey way.
When it came to comfort, Apollo’s favorite place to rest was right on his mom’s chest, close to her heartbeat, where he felt safe and loved. His meals were classic—he enjoyed his mice dinners with satisfaction—but what mattered most to him was always being close to his mom.
One of Julianna’s most treasured memories of Apollo was the way he would rub his cheek against hers, as if asking for pets, showing a tenderness not often associated with snakes. It was his way of saying, “I love you.”
Apollo passed away on September 7, 2025, leaving behind a family who will forever cherish his gentle spirit, playful energy, and the comfort he brought into their lives.
Rest peacefully, Apollo.
You were one of a kind, a sweet soul with scales, and you will always be remembered with love. 🐍❤️
