IMO we really should not entertain this stuff with threads on it. We have just added another link to show up in a search engine concerning this ridiculous article, and therefore more visit it. People will not write sensationalist crap if no one reads it.

As a mom, I can tell you, babies KICK...and a little ball python, being repeatedly kicked, may just get worked up and bite. If confused enough, maybe it would get mad enough to wrap, as it could in 'tease-feeding'. Still, the damage done would be negligible.

Are you kidding me!? The video says it was wrapped around his body. The hours spent in the hospital felt like forever? The first article states that the parents walked in as the snake was attacking the child. That would be like saying that I swatted a horesfly as it was attacking me. Scared to death? Going to eat your first child? It was slimy? Of course the child is unphased by the ordeal. And why the hell did they take him to the hospital in the first place? Thankful that he survived? I want to slap that man and the reporter both silly! And why the need to move out of the apartment as soon as possible?

This is what we DON'T need as publicity. One idiot hurts the whole hobby.

This is from a small town not far from where I live. We have to educate people that think snakes are bad pets. What a huge setback in my opinion.
Too many snakes to list. Ball pythons, Gtp's and Boa's. It easier to say it that way.

Re: This is what we DON'T need as publicity. One idiot hurts the whole hobby.
it can take hundreds of people to build up the reputation of snakes, like telling friends, parents etc...
but then it takes one person to destroy everything :/

So is this a follow up to THIS STORY or is it the same story in a different paper?
EDIT: Oh I see, this story names the owner of the killer ball python.

So true. If what the media reported were a true reflection of life then every church would be a sinister cult, every gun owner a vigilante, every pit bull a crazed killer, every parent a child abuser, every driver a drunk, and every cop corrupt.
The way the news presents life is pretty much the same way Jerry Springer presents humanity. I guess it would be too much to expect that our hobby would fare any better.
