Pit-bull vs. Python!
“Snakes! Why did it have to be snakes?!”
NOTE: NOT A WILD PYTHON — had escaped from home cage.
The snake was a family pet, not one of a fast-growing population of nonnative pythons that has been spreading in the wild in southern Florida.

“Fish and Wildlife told News 13 that a permit is necessary to own a Burmese python, but no permit was issued to anyone in the house.”
Obviously a time for more Python Control measures. We need Assault Python bans.
This is really sad, but not much you can do except watch your child more closely. Burmese pythons have taken over the top reptile predator position in south florida, and you people with doggie doors had best watch out.
And where the heck is Leesburg?
There are no bad pythons, just bad owners.
Hey that’s what AKC says about pit bulls.
Who would keep a pet python with a baby in the house?
The python is one of two snakes in the home — the other is a 6-foot boa constrictor.
Both snakes are alive, Carruthers said.
Two other children also lived there.

I'd like to see that video on the Discovery Channel.
God created pythons, Col. Colt made them equal.
“It is unknown whether the snake was a pet and how the child came in contact with the animal.”
I would think the reporter would have gathered these answers before writing the article.

What a heartbreaking and disturbing tragedy.
The only good snake is a dead snake.
