Pure conjecture here, but my guess is that she was familiar with the python and didn't think things were going to go wrong. I'd suspect some owners of scrubbies or olives have also taken similar risks and come out of it fine simply because things did not go wrong.
I absolutely hope that the python is not euthanised. But it's also tragic that a life has been lost, avoidable yes, but most accidents are.
True in every regard. Must say I have never had to give oral meds to a snake but recently injected antibiotics into 7ft coastal. Put her in a pillow case, my wife exposed a small section of the snake while securing the opening of pillow case also, while I gave the injection. Thought about the oral thing and I decided i may use the bag or hold her whilst sitting on the coach, but would need help either way.
