I don’t buy this story one bit. A Python is not going to attack a sleeping boy unless he plans to eat him. And two sleeping boys? I don’t think so. Those kids were murdered, and an autopsy should show it was done by hands or rope, not a snake. I doubt that a pet store would even have a Python large enough to attack a boy.

When I was a boy I used to handle pet store Pythons and Boas, even let them curl around my neck.

Think a snake between 14 and 16 feet long is big enough?(in the article, 4.5 yards)

A quick search of the internet will provide you with plenty of examples of attacks of pythons on small children.

This was not just a (Burmese) python but an African Rock Python, it's more aggressive African cousin.

You weren't asleep, either....
