13 deaths since 1980....
Including a toddler after a pet python (retic) escaped and went into the two year olds room and strangled her....
NTVNM; said:some (98%) people in this hobby have no idea what they are doing...even tho they think they do.
i wonder how thick it was
For those saying his friend should have helped... his friend probably was pooping his pants in fear of the snake.. also I can't imagine how difficult it would be to uncoil a 2.7m 11kg snake would be, but I'd say it'd be pretty damn hard.
He should've got a knife and cut its head off or something though...
I just can't believe a boa that size (which isn't THAT big really) would have a feeding reaction to a human. Goes to show snakes DON'T know their owners after all.

I suspect alcohol was involved. Beer should be banned.
Yes and the more incidents like this occur the the tighter the laws become for wildlife ownership. The is in the US but the implications are the same.

I don't remember much these days, alcohol has affected my long/short term memory :lol:
i dont think this type of thing will ever happen in australia. Although our carpets and olives can reach over 3 meters in lenth who in their right mind can place 100 percent faith and trust in a native wild animal that is captive bred. Its like trying to domesticate a pure dingo or wolf in that matter Most aussie keepers are smart enough to at least show a fraction of respect when handling a large python. Anyone who thinks a python can be tamed like a dog should not own one. This sort of ***** happening will ruin the industry quicker than over breeding ever will.
The law has just been passed in Florida to ban the keeping of Burmese pythons, Rock Pythons, Amethystine pythons and Nile Monitors. This is due to these occurences. As of July 1st, if you do not already have these animals on license you are not allowed to acquire them. Existing keepers are not allowed to breed or trade them.
Sad times.
