Re: burmese python?
Well let me start off by stating if your living situation is likely to change, ie different state, then anything on the Lacey act is not a good idea. Second people always seem to overlook the fact that there are dwarf burmese that do not get over 10 feet and are significantly more slender bodied then normals Burms. I've heard of 3 foot long breeder males, and females typically don't hit the 8 foot mark. Yes burmese are awesome animals, I'd love to have one, but they arnt for your average keeper. Snakes of that magnitude take some seroius man power to control in a safe way. What state are you in anyway?

They are investigating the people (the moms friend i think) . Not the snake. And the snake is already dead.
I to heard that it was being investigated as a murder but it was never confirmed.

Re: burmese python?
The snake didn't eat anything, it supposedly strangled them and then crawled into a corner. Which seems to not even be what actually happened anymore.

would a snake do that though? strangle prey and not eat it? i've never heard of that happening.
makes sense that theyre investigating it as a murder.

If it strangled the kids than it was out of a feeding response... and I think we would have seen traces of saliva on the bodies(Trying to swallow the kids and then deciding not to later) but there are no signs of it. Just doesn't add up. Why would it constrict them and decide not to eat them without even trying first?

i dont think it would. it doesnt make sense. not at all. which means someone probably strangled the children, let the snake lose, then blamed the snake.

Re: burmese python?
that video was so comical my whole household laughed till our belly hurts...lol..as far as the 2 kids that were killed by the rock python, I read that the kids were constricted out of a fear response from the snake as it fell through the ceiling onto them...it had no intentions of eating them, since there was no evidence of an "attack"...

My atb constricted a couple of meals and just dropped them down to the ground. This was when I moved her into a new enclosure. My guess is she was to stessed to eat and saw the mouse as a threat.
