    well they are also talking about these big cats found in the belly of a burm???? Were those babies? I don't see anyting of that size with those claws NOT being able to tear up a snake. Maybe its just me being a newbie but.....that doesn't make sense to me.

    The baby had a bite from the snake on the crown of its head, so it appears that for whatever freak reason, the snake did constrict the baby. Animals are not predictable. It shouldn't have happened logically, but it did. It wouldn't have happened if the door to the room the snake was in had been closed, and the snake was in a secure cage.

    As for the Key Largo Wood Rats, two were found in the belly of a burm. Florida panthers were SPECULATED to be a potential target, by assuming a burm could eat panther kittens, but no such situation has been observed.

    Just FYI ... That was not the only animal bite on the little girl. The investigation is still on going. There is more to it than has been published publicly.

    It already occurred to me that using a rat to make the child smell like food to the snake would have been the perfect murder.

    I agree. I very highly doubt a burm would consider an adult florida panther a food source. And if for some reason they did I highly doubt the burm would win. Those are some large cats. and like you said those claws are huge

    I watched a documentary on andacondas and during the video there was a fight between a 20ft andaconda and a jaguar ( or similiair big cat) and the snake got worked. If a 20ft andaconda can't take down a big cat then a burm has NO chance.

    Very interesting information Adam, the thought being that maybe the child was abused and the snake is the scapegoat?

    The Florida authorities already settled on the idea that it was a bizarre case of child abuse. Last I heard, the parents are doing hard time in the state pen.

    Re: An Eerie Glimpse of Whats to Come
    So if this is the case, that they are convicted of child abuse, where are the stories about this? I am curious as to how anyone can use a case as such if abuse was involved and use a snake in the home as the fire that has put the reptile and pet ownership nation under the scope. I know we are dealing with HSUS but if this is the case would it not make sense to expose this in testimony and how this situation is being used to represent reptile keepers, snakes etc as a whole?
