    Re: More Trouble

    Ok, I'm gonna say it. This looks to me to be total bullspit. I honestly and truly think that the room mate and the girl strangled the guy, then put the snake around him and called the cops.

    It sounds like I am joking, but I am dead serious. There is a reason that there are thousands and thousands of Red Tail Boa pets out there, and as far as I know nobody has ever been killed by one.

    A 9 ft 25lb Redtail Boa strangling a GROWN man???? A GROAN man with lots of experience handling the snake??? A GROWN man with two other people in the room?

    1.) As a Red Tail owner I ask; How is it humanly possible that this guy was not able to unwrap a 25 lb snake from his own neck? I know how strong they are... but they are NOT hard to unwrap from something.. even your own neck.

    2.) Are you serious? They are claiming that the guy getting choked AND his GROWN room mate were unable to unwrap the snake? Complete and total BS. Anyone that has handled a 9 foot snake before can tell you with absolute certainty that this is not possible. NO WAY two adults would not be able to unwrap a 9 foot 25lb snake.... not to mention that there was a third person, a GROWN female friend that would have also helped.

    3.) So let me get this part straight... the friend is getting choked out. then he drops to the floor and stops moving. And apparently the friends just stood there and waited at this point for the cops to come (cause the snake was still around his neck when the got there) Who in the world would just sit there and look at it waiting for the police to arrive? You can't tell me that there is a single person who would not eventually run into the kitchen, grab a knife, fork, scissors, or anything to attack the snake. They say now they don't know what to do with the snake.. perhaps send it to the zoo. This leads me to believe that somehow the snake was not injured at all during all this?????!!!!!!!!! Give me a break. Who can we talk to to make sure the local authorities investigate this MURDER correctly? They need to talk to professionals so they can see just how ridiculous this story is. They need to hold the snake themselves.

    I will be more then happy to hold that very snake myself... let it wrap my neck completely, scare the crap out of it and make it totally constrict. Then I can show them how easy it is to unwrap BY MYSELF. Then I will do it again, and this time let another adult unwrap it without help from me. Then they can see how it is even 10 times easier for someone else to remove! Then I will do it a third time... and both I and another adult will pull it off at the same time. Then they can see that that snake would be off my neck in seconds without any struggle.

    Seriously, who can we call on this?
