A beautiful Burmese python strangles a child to death, and gets stabbed.

The only thing I could think of was... this owner wasn't licensed.

Every time there is a story like this, it's usually followed with info like "unlicensed owner," or "kept in a bathtub," or something along those lines.

Pythons are all picky eaters, aren't they? But even I'd eat carrots if I was starving... despite my allergy to them/something in them.

So I theorized that an unskilled owner starved their burm and it found a potential source of food....

I don't know... if a constrictor is large enough, does it start viewing anything small enough to swallow as a prey item?
