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.
i remember hearing of this
the media really went crazy over that one

was very unfortunate,
ive heard of this happening in other countrys with large boids that kill there keeper.
they can kill you quicker than any venomous snake can
