Re: A Little Boy and His Giant Python
I wonder if that is the same child from the picture that was circulated a couple of years ago....the toddler sitting in a bucket bathing with a giant burm wrapped around him.

Re: A Little Boy and His Giant Python

Judy, that snake from a couple years ago was a retic, i believe.

You probably right...I'm only vaguely remembering the picture. But it would have been kind of neat if it turned out to be the same family and snake.

Re: A Little Boy and His Giant Python
Thats pretty amazing. i would almost think that a snake that large, would consider a child of that size a pretty easy meal.

Re: A Little Boy and His Giant Python
hahah he rides it like a pony! :P

Re: A Little Boy and His Giant Python
Looks pretty cool but no matter how tame, I wouldn't let a 19' burm anywhere near my head like that. It would take a few people to control her alone. 1 bite to that little boy and hes gone. Really cute though. Wish it said how much she weighs. I know of 16' burms that weigh 140 lbs or so. Wow, that must be a heavy snake.

Re: A Little Boy and His Giant Python
Seems mean to put all that weight on her back like that. The little boy is holding onto her like a monkey. I know that would piss me off and make me strike out

Re: A Little Boy and His Giant Python
If i was that snake I would be like, "Get off of me kid before I eat you:mad: !!!"
LOL. Serioulsy though, that kid better be careful or he might end up hurt or dead.

Re: A Little Boy and His Giant Python
i dunno... normally i would freak out seeing something like that... but since the two of them have been together for 7 years... i'm guessing the snake and boy have a special friendship... probably a soul connection...
of course, we can't see what it's really like in a short clip like that :wuv: but the snake seems cared for really well from what the article says.

Re: A Little Boy and His Giant Python
Cute but a lil scary.
Reminds me of a story that was doing the snake forum rounds a little while back about the snake (can't remember species) in a Japanese zoo (I think) that decided it wasn't going to eat one of its meals so the "meal" (rodent/rabbit) stayed there with it and they would snuggle up to sleep together and had been for a month or more ... not that I'm saying the snake will eat the boy in this case (hopefully it's being well fed so won't even think about it ;) )

Re: A Little Boy and His Giant Python
Hey Robin, I went ahead and moved this to the Giant Python section. It seemed to fit better here. ;)
That was a very interesting clip. Thanks for posting it.

Just because they have been together for 7 years doesn't mean a thing. Many people that get attacked by giant pythons have had them for a while. Not calling you wrong but chances are he will still attack the kid one day. Not safe IMO to let any large snake around a small child

It was a rat snake and a hamster.

Re: A Little Boy and His Giant Python
i saw that a couple years ago. i bet that snakes gonna end up all chewed up if he isnt already.
-
Re: A Little Boy and His Giant Python
a few years ago i knew this guy... he had some pythons... have no idea what kind... but he went to feed it a pregnant mouse one day... well the snake didn't eat it. the mouse made a nest and gave birth. the snake actually coiled around the nest and seemed to protect his friend and her babies.
any other mice which came into the enclosure were eaten... but she wasn't.
i moved away but i know the mouse lived with him for months (he removed the babies when they were bigger and put them in with his other feeders) - odd how he didn't eat that mouse...
i'm not saying the snake won't or couldn't attack that boy and honestly i would never even consider allowing something like that... but i also believe sometimes things happen that would not normally occur... and perhaps - within that realm - they exist in peace together. :wuv:
cause let's face it... amazing miracles happen. we can't explain them. we don't know why... but sometimes... they just do.

Re: A Little Boy and His Giant Python
Did you notice the snake looks to be in shed? Yet to see another update on them living together still have you?
-
Re: A Little Boy and His Giant Python
sorry jake... i'm not sure if you are talking to me or marshall or the original poster of this thread.
if you are talking to me...
i moved away and don't even know how to contact them now... sorry
edited to add: okay i looked at the link to the hamster and snake and see it's in blue... so that's what you are discussing.
i think, that if the hamster is fed and watered and the snake isn't interested in eating it... then why would the hamster bite the snake? doesn't make any sense to me - but perhaps i'm missing something.
i'd be more concerned about allowing the snake to live in a cardboard box with the urine of the hamster - that, to me, is a more direct concern :fishslap:

nope, thats the only picture ive ever seen of the hamster and that rat snake, and i haven't heard any updates on them..
-
Re: A Little Boy and His Giant Python
Wow that a big snake. As for the kid riding it around, one of these days that snake is gona bite him or even worse kill him. I would never leave any smal child around a snake even a little snake it can be dangerous.
-
Re: A Little Boy and His Giant Python
Well even when rats are well fed and watered, they still test chew on anything they can. The hamster will likely do the same

Re: A Little Boy and His Giant Python
don't get me wrong... i would never ever ever let a rodent live with a snake, nor would i ever allow kids around a large snake like that...
just making comments is all :P

Re: A Little Boy and His Giant Python
Bah; silly people who ride horses.. snakes are the way to go! lol. What's next? Snake-Under-Saddle showing? Snake Jumping in the Olympics? Snakeshoes? Racer Racing? Gah!

Re: A Little Boy and His Giant Python
perhaps a snake liek that never had a clutch or babies of its own? and in a way the child could be a replacement? arent they known as royal pythons also?
-
Re: A Little Boy and His Giant Python
that one with the kid getting eaten was sweet , lol . i wouldnt let any child interact with a snake that size .
i found this on you tube
