Different snake, but similar size.

The snake was not seriously hurt by the stun gun. Whew, thank God that the snake is OK. /sarc

Fascinating. I knew they wrapped around and swallowed you but didn't know they bit you.
Also I suspect the handler was jolted by the taser to but was greatful for it.
But am I the only one that wonders about the ability of the snake handlers if their only means of resolving problems with the animals is the Police Dept ?

I wonder if the cop haters are going to show up on this thread.

It just goes to show that you can name a snake Chloe and you can treat it real nice, but snakes don't think like people.
It's a good thing it didn't wrap around her neck.

My town abuts Tarpon Springs. I didn't know there was an aquarium there now. I'll have to drive over for a look-see one of these days.
Not at feeding time, though.

I wonder if the handler had just fed another reptile. The snake might have smelled food, and instinct kicked in. Monitor lizards have a tendancy to do that as well. My bf has gotten bit a couple of times. Ouch!
14 feet long? Bet that snake eats bunny rabbits...

We were visiting the Alligator Farm in St.Augustine this week...
...the young woman handler at the Reptile Show brought out a turtle.... & another small something or other.... rather lame (can't remember)....
..then she disappeared behind the wall to get the python.
She was gone for a bit and suddenly two burly men went behind the wall ....
..finally she reappeared with the thing wrapped around her.
Don't know if she needed help....
..but the show was lame.....and she talked too fast.
The place was crowded and a zillion kids wanted to touch the python.

Burmese pythons can be a bit...uh...nippy; more so than other large snakes. I was bitten in the face by a medium sized one several years ago at work. I suppose I looked tastier than the rats I was offering!
