Well if python kid is a younger kid it might have been rather disconcerting so let's be kind here folks.

PK if you are concerned simply do not allow the snake to encircle your neck. Even though our BP's are not a danger to my children it is a standard and firm rule in my house that no minor child is allowed to have a snake on their neck. It's just a precaution we feel teaches our children to be respectful of the power of a snake in case they are handling much larger and more powerful snakes than those we currently house. We also fostered a large and powerful 6 foot plus BCI so it was also appropriate when handling him.
