[Bean Counter]

Yknow, my python boot is too tight
I couldnt get it off last night
A week went by, an now it’s july
I finally got it off
An my girl-friend she cry
You got stink foot! stink foot, darlin
Your stink foot puts a hurt on my nose!
Stink foot! stink foot! I aint lyin,
Can you rinse it off, dyou suppose?

15 foot snake and a bunch of kids, what could go wrong.

Huge killer snakes and children’s parties... who would ever have thought this would be a bad combination?? Next you’ll tell me we shouldn’t put an alligator farm near a nursing home specializing in Alzheimer’s patients. Till now I’d have thought they’d go together like piranhas and water ballet.

The youth of tomorrow. Shielded by their overly protective parents from anything that could hurt them. This is a threat which any 10 year old should be ready to combat but these kids cry like little babies. The ones who didn’t cry probably grabbed their cels and started to record video.

Proably a Pit Snake.....

[Perseverando]

I believe it was Jack Hannah who once said that leading snake experts believe that large snakes think children taste like chicken. sarc/

The parents are idiots, first of all.

"It was not trying to attack," said Shane Richens, owner of Scales and Tails. "It was some sort of a defensive mechanism, which is why we took it to the vet, to find out why she felt the need to defend itself. We think there's something wrong with her, something she's hurting from."

That has got to be thee LAMEST statement I've ever heard !

I wonder if the snake will break under questioning....

This stupid IDIOT is responsible for all of this. And the imbecile tries to blame the snake for being defective.

15-foot, 140-pound Burmese python

[ransomnote]

“By the time they are two years old they can be over eight feet long and weigh fifty pounds. This is large enough to kill a human. “
SNIP
“The majority of Burmese pythons are not aggressive, but the potential is always there. They should be respected for their strength and treated accordingly. When it is necessary to handle them as when cleaning their cage, it is important to have another experienced person to help. This is especially true for larger snakes. It is recommended that you have one handler for every five feet of snake.”
SNIP
“One reason the Burmese python is dangerous around feeding time is that it doesn’t see well. They use their sense of smell for finding prey. If the keeper has the smell of food on him or near him, the snake is likely to assume the keeper is food. The instinct to constrict its food and eat is so reflexive that it can kill you before it realizes you are too big to swallow.”

While the snake was probably tame and used to people, it just doesn’t seem necessary to have it out among children when the children would be intrigued and thrilled with smaller, less powerful snakes.

[Tax-chick]

The 15-foot, 140-pound Burmese python and its handlers were hired for a Halloween celebration last Saturday at Cyprus Credit Union in West Jordan.

Nothing this fun ever happens at my bank.

[Cold Heat]

ummmm......

As a person who has raised a Burmese, I can tell you that they will bite a wall if they see it as a threat.

The bites are not dangerous, except for infection potential. The teeth are very small but there are a lot of them.
