    This is particularly upsetting because it happened locally.

    Strangled by his red tailed boa.

    This guy didn't live very far from me. Its sad to see someone die because of a pet but he kind of asked for it. He always had the snake around his neck to show it off. First of all its 9 feet long and 25 pounds. Any snake that size should not be around your neck unless there are others close by that can assist if needed. The only person close by was his wife. She couldn't help him.

    I hope that they stress that this was not an attack, but was an accident, and do not put the snake down.
    Well, one can always be hopeful.

    Yeah saw that in another thread right after I posted. Such a shame. The media needs to get its facts straight though, jeez.

    Its funny you posted this I was just logging on to bring this to BP.net attention.I was reading this article
    http://www.wowt.com/news/headlines/96005609.html
    and the comments really aggravated me...
    I commented but it hasnt been approved yet but we need to get some educated keepers to post on the comments and show them the error in their ways.

    As for them calling it a python on the story and in the news they have corrected it.
