Stupid parents.

Am I the only one who finds this idiotic. Besides the fact that the retic is going to great lengths to get away and not bite, the risk is still there. Not to mention the strength of that animal can easily kill the child, or harm it before the parents can intervene.
Not sure how I should be reacting but anger is my first emotion.

Re: Stupid parents.

Extremely idiotic the child could easily get hurt not to mention he looks likes he's hurting the snake handling it. The parents are just letting him disturb the animal without regards for the snake -_- I wouldn't even trust myself with a retic, even of that size, let alone a small child.

Re: Stupid parents.

There (3rd world countries) customs and way of life differ greatly from ours. This is just one example of it.. I wouldn't let it get to you.

Re: Stupid parents.

It is sad because it looks like the snake just wants to get away. Not once did the snake show any aggression. Just like KD35WIN said, its a different culture. Lets just hope they let the snake be after the video.

Re: Stupid parents.

Not the smartest thing in the world and I'm not condoning it, but I'm not the owner of the snake or the parent of the child, so it's hard for me to judge the situation too harshly. But there's no way that snake would be able to kill the child with the parents standing a few feet away. My worry would be more for the snake than the child, but then again I'm a snake lover; that snake might be dinner for them.

Re: Stupid parents.

A retic that size is stronger most people think. Not saying it could strangulate the kid but given the size of its teeth, a well placed bite to the neck could do some damage, not to mention face.

This. Different country, different culture.

This video is a lot nicer than some I've seen regarding snakes in other countries...

sadly - No CPS over there, a lot of young ladies are prostitutes by age 12.
