He had loads of experience with large boids in Sweden, like Burmese Pythons, African Rock Pythons, Boa Constrictors, Reticulated Pythons, Green Anaconda's and PNG Scrubs. It was simply an unfortunate series of uncommon events that ended in the death of someone who I believe had the ability to become a major contributor to the academic side of herpetology.
