Wiggles, the Children's Python

[Homebody]

Yeah, being gloveless must have confused him. He wasn't taking any chances that this prey was going to get away!

This incident demonstrates well one of the reasons that Children's pythons make such great pets. As, Wiggles was doing his level best to crush me to death, he only managed to be amusing. That's an important benefit of keeping the second smallest python in the world. They can't hurt you. To illustrate just how small they are, I decided to use Lord Sorril's trick of adding a quarter for scale.



Imagine how small their teeth must be. I've only taken a feeding bite from him once, and, even when he working his jaws trying to pull me into his mouth, it was never more than mildly irritating. Now, Childrens may be more prone to biting than some other snakes, but you'd be hard pressed to find one that does less damage when it does.
