Can you fill us in with all the details the police, family and reporters have given you that we didn't get in the news article?
It would really help us so we could judge for ourselves if it really was the owners fault.

Re: Sad News
If not the owners fault, then whose? The snakes? Im sure he was being devious and wanted to show his lack of respect for authority.
The man didnt even have a permit. Or so we've heard. If thats the case he shouldnt have had the snake in the first place. Cant afford the $100 a year (then cant afford the snakes upkeep IMO) or just dont want anyone to know he has it? Didnt want people to know he didnt have the right cage or no-how for caring for it? Its a little suspect to me.
Poor child, poor mother. I cant even begin to know what it must feel like to lose your child, a toddler at that.

In any case it's very very sad.
Especially in the one article i read the caller said "The stupid Snake got out".

Re: Sad News
check out the video links on the page with that story.
at the end of the 7 min. news clip it tells how pythons can get up to
30 ft. and blah blah ( all while showing a picture of a ball python)
also at one point it was being called a boa

Same tactics as anti-gun activists. Any bad press that can be twisted is good for them. I fell sad about the baby but things happen. We can not keep people 100% safe at all times, and banning anything and everything under the sun we feel is deadly is no way to go about it. In life their are risks, we minimize them by being educated in what we choose to do. Sadly their are stupid people out there, and their are accadents that can and do happen to even the most educated of us. Welcome to life, get a helmet.
