Toddler Choked By Unlicensed Python
WFTV-TV 9 Orlando | Submitted by: scarred 4 life
"A 2-year-old girl was found dead Wednesday morning in a Sumter County home after being strangled by a 12-foot pet python... Some owners have freed pythons into the wild and a population of them has taken hold in the Everglades. One killed an alligator and then exploded when it tried to eat it. Scientists also speculate a bevy of Burmese pythons escaped in 1992 from pet shops battered by Hurricane Andrew and have been reproducing since."

Yup, lets all keep dangerous reptiles as pets around small children. I keep wondering how long before florida outlaws all reptile pets because of the releasing them in the swamps when they get too big thing.

fiend, I know. I've seen that there's now special patrols in the Everglades to hunt down pythons and boas, etc. Stupid fucks just let them out.

I have no desire to keep as a pet an inscrutable 12-foot rope of muscle with a prehistoric brain programmed to strangle mammals for food.

Who would have ever guessed that a cute cuddly 12 foot long python would be an inappropriate pet for a two year old child? I am so disillusioned.

I live in Florida, this was in the local paper, and years ago I had a roommate who collected snakes, including a 6-foot python. Here goes. 1. Yes the guy was an idiot and should go to jail. 2. Snakes are possibly the dumbest animals on the planet. Eat, sleep, try to escape. That's their whole existence. 3. The tank MUST be kept locked from the outside, ALWAYS, dipshit. 4. Aside from that, they do make great pets. Clean, quiet, great conversation piece, they don't bite unless threatened, and may make burglers think twice. 5. One rule of thumb is for the person to match the animal: a four-foot tall kid can handle a four-foot long snake, etc. So get two people to handle a snake longer than, say, seven feet. 6. Wash your hands and eat a mint before handling it. It you smell like a hamburger, the snake will treat you like a hamburger.

From: eauclaireliberal [eauclaireliberal] Date: 2-Jul-2009 09:25 Its tragic for the child, but the parents are fucking morons. Would you keep a pack of wolves in your backyard? Go swimming in the Amazon? Duh. **** Yeah and unless my memory is totally wiped out from weed we've had stories addressing those exact scenarios at some point in rotten history...

Would you keep a pack of wolves in your backyard? =================== Sure, if I had a big enough backyard. I've played with wolves before; they're generally not dangerous to people. Besides, think how much fun it would be to buy a live sheep from a farm and set it loose in the yard with the wolves. Now that's entertainment.
