This all just seems RIDICULOUSLY fishy. Teeth marks? Did the the python go have a nibble and then slither away? And there's no way they got bit without being eaten silently. And the third boy just sat around and watched?
Even if they were smothered, there's still the collapsing ceiling...
It all just seems like a bunch of people automatically pointing their fingers at the snake because they're "scary" animals. I really hope the snake is still kickin' and will be moved in with someone who can actually take care of it properly.
Even with all this, my grandparents are still begging my dad to forbid snakes in the house. Pffff.
