Python bites Queensland toddler in backyard
A two-year-old Queensland boy is lucky to be alive after a python coiled around him in his backyard and bit him four times.
The Port Douglas toddler was playing with a ball in the backyard at around 7.45pm on Monday when his mother lost sight of him.
"Then I heard this blood curdling scream," his mother told the Cairns Post.
"The snake was biting his leg and was wrapped around his whole body, to his chest. It started constricting."
Neighbours heard the woman's screams and helped her pull the python off of her son.
The boy suffered four bite wounds and was taken by ambulance to Mossman Hospital and then to Cairns Base Hospital.
Queensland Health said yesterday the boy was discharged after 24 hours of treatment.
