At first, she did not give in to worry. She knew that some large reptiles could go through relatively long periods of fasting.
She therefore considered several possible explanations, including a phase related to molting or a seasonal change.
Despite this, the refusal to eat persisted. Every day, Camilla watched Dorato hoping to see him return to his usual behavior.

A strange visit in the middle of the night
One night, around three in the morning,
Camilla was suddenly awakened by a strange pressure in her legs, under the covers.
Still half asleep, she turned on her nightlight to understand what was happening.
To her great surprise, she discovered Dorato in her bed.
The enormous snake had managed to get through the door of her room and slither under the covers. It had settled down next to her, its long body stretched out on the mattress and its scaly head placed near the pillow.
