Everytime I see those pics, I think "oh no- bad thing waiting to happen". I realize that this animal may be thier pet, but it seems they take no precautions for safety, esp. with a small child like that. The snake could easily eat that kid! If I owned a snake like that- it sure as heck would not be sleeping with my kid, bathing with my kid....

They might not think that snake was so great if the mother was all alone with the kids at home and it got hungry and the littlest kid became its meal... there is no way they could save that kid in time.... in the end, they would probably kill the snake for eating the kid, when it would only be doing what it must at the time to feed itself.

Hate to be a party pooper here, but thats just irresponsiblity letting a snake and a kid that little together. Then the whole salmonilla thing.
