First off let me say, I don't know this person or the vet in the story. I'll give the facts as they were passed onto me and let you cme up with your opinion. I already have mine just curious about yours.

This lady takes her python ( i don't know what kind or size, my assuption is that its large) to the vet cause it wont eat. The vet has it for a couple days and it eats for him. She takes it home and after another month of it not eating, she takes it back to the vet. The snake eats for the vet again. When she goes back to pick it up the vet wants to know what her typical interaction with the snake is. During the day the interaction is none but at night she takes the snake out and puts it in bed with her. Where it stretches out full length and "cuddles' next to her. The vet, apparently very shocked, tells her to get rid of the snake immediatly because it is sizing her up and starving itself to make room for its next meal......her!

This is all I know about what happened. You will have to draw your conclusion based on these limited facts. I have owned snakes for over 15yrs but they have always been ball pythons. Never owned anything large enough to be a threat to a human. I've read many books and articles on a multitude of reptiles, never heard anything about any snake taking its time and sizing someone up.

ok, lets hear your thoughts.
