He was roughly ehh 4 feet tall, they slept together everyday..food for thought.
.

there was a case on the news a few weeks ago.....

where 2 CHILDREN were killed by a large snake...

Mother's heartbreak after her two sons, 4 and 6, are strangled in their sleep by 16-ft python during sleepover above pet shop

• Noah and Connor Barthe were sleeping at an apartment above the Reptile Ocean pet store in Campbellton in New Brunswick, Canada
  
• African rock python escaped its cage and slithered through the air ducts before punching a hole in the ceiling and landing on the boys
  
• A criminal investigation has been launched but no charges so far
• Officials said African rock snakes are not allowed in the province
  
• Experts say the deaths are surprising as 'snakes don't go on killing sprees'

so it CAN happen,i bet those poor folk thought it would never happen to them...

but it did...!!

some people think they're defending the hobby, by defending the keeping of large snakes,in the correct circumstances theres nothing wrong with keeping large snakes,i would love to have the space to keep Scrubbies...

imo if you think about mixing children and large snakes in an incorrect way,then the results don't bare thinking about,the damage to the family and the hobby put under a microscope

i actually think i heard about that. my fiance told me. deffinately pretty scary knowing that you're pet can kill your child.

i dont think under any circumstance would I mix a child and a large snake. accident happen. all it takes is one slip up & you could be attending the funeral of a 3 year old.
