Ms Stewart said she had become so distressed over the incident she had moved out of her home to get away from the snake.
"I couldn't take the risk with my 11-year-old son in the house," she said.

Fair dinkum....

"I couldn't take the risk with my 11-year-old son in the house," she said.

What the?
she moved because she is worried about her son.
if the kid is 11 how may I ask is a Scrubby going to swallow him?
it's eating things the sise of a Chihuahua. I do believe 11 yr olds are slightly larger than that and they are a bit smarter too (generally)
some people let their fear take over logic.
