In Canada a large python (no details released on what species but obviously a Burmese or a reticulated or something) escaped into the ventilation system and went upstairs and killed two children on a sleepover at their friends house. The family who owned the snake lived above there pet shop. The snake was accused of "attacking the children" my views however are different i mean obviously these two poor children have died for a reason but what hard evidence is there to back the fact this snake killed them as you all know a snakes defence is to strike and bite. Not to constrict as i think constriction is mainly linked with feeding my snakes would never constrict me as defence. I think the snake may have slithered over them and killed them in there sleep by accident nothing more. It is a tradjedy but this is what i hate because people will now go off and fear all pythons and its really bad. Its such a shame this has happened and wish it didnt
