    sent her article about crazy relative poisoning babies, dropping babies giving illicit drugs to babies.

    honestly there is more danger in letting people approach your child than a ball python.

    I still think that story is bull hockey. It does not make sense. A shy animal crawls into the bedding of a baby that is ten times its size and tries to eat it from the foot up? I don't believe that story happened the way it was told.

    Re: Has a bp ever killed or severely injured any person newborn to 100 years old.
    People in North America are relatively safe from snakes. However, snakes in general are extremely dangerous and kill between 20,000 and 94,000 people every year around the globe. (source) With that said, deaths from constrictors are pretty rare and then only from the giant constrictors. I have only read of one incident where someone was killed form a Boa Constrictor. Most constrictor deaths are from Burmese Pythons followed by Reticulated Pythons.

    I can't see the story, but if that is the one that happened here in Florida, that is better proof that bps aren't dangerous. The baby went to the hospital for a few scratches and slight bruising. That was the extent of the damage.

    I can confidently say that a ball python has never seriously injured or killed any human, nor will they ever. A kitten would be more dangerous.
