okay this story sounds like bullcrap.
What snake is big and heavy enough to kill a 5 / 7 year old and still fit through ventilation? Never have I heard of a "serial killer snake" that goes bed to bed killing but not eating and leaving the bodies untouched.
The whole thing sounds stupid. Something's not right here. They didn't even name a species. Probably due to the inconsistency. Would suck to name a burm or anaconda and people be like "really because those weigh this much and can't climb straight up through ventilation"

I think the story might have been a little more believable if it was only one child. I have my doubts that a snake would attack one child, find that it couldn't swallow it and then do the same thing to the other? That doesn't make much sense to me. The report says they were just strangled.... I don't know much about big snakes but I have a hard time believing that they just go around strangling everything in sight unless they have plans to try and eat it. Also, I think if I saw my friend being attacked (surely there was some kind of struggle) by a giant "monster" at that age, I probably would have ran screaming before it got me next..... just sayin. This story just doesn't seem quite right to me but I feel bad for those kids and their family.

Something seems really fishy about all this. I'm hoping they will release the autopsy results but I won't hold my breath.

Ditto to this.

My best guess: someone stole a huge snake from the pet store, strangled the kids, put the snake in the room with their bodies.

there is one link that has videos in it, including an "interview" with the owner, which is most revealing.
http://globalnews.ca/news/762560/esc...new-brunswick/
i still have a hard time believing it. When constricting they only focus on one thing and nothing else. How can it be that it killed both?
Autopsy reports are not yet out there, this is important. Also no charges filed yet, which is also important.
But it was a snake (african rock python) that was never handled or let out, only moved into a box for cage cleaning and maintenance and then returned to the enclosure. Snakes that get handled a lot do not view humans as food and only tag humans sometimes (ram the teeth in and let go and retreat, no pulling no attempt at constricting). Snakes that get handled a lot only do the crazy bites if food smell confuses them, otherwise they would never do a bite followed by constriction.
Two boys dead, how come one didnt wake up in the mayhem? How come they didnt wake up when a giant african rock python came crashing down through the ceiling tiles into the room?
what we do not know is how the scene looked like. If its two boys in the beds dead, in their beds under their blankets, and a python elsewhere, then i dont see how it could be the python. If it was the python, there would be bite marks on both, significant signs of an unusual fight, blankets twisted, bodies apart from the blankets not under them. Humans, and children, do wake up quickly when oxygen supply to the brain is depleted rapidly and will struggle immediately. Maybe they only get a few seconds to struggle, but these few seconds together with the wrapping action of the snake would leave a very disordered scene.
so i still see two other ways: Gas leak / chemical leak, killing the children and freaking out the snake, or murder covered up using the snake. Autopsy reports and more data on how the scene looked like will bring clarity. Bite marks on both bodies would be really, really bad.
