That snake is very dangerous and could kill him at any moment. Many people who kept pythons as pets have been killed by them - it seems quite peaceful then, one day, springs a surprise.

Love your snake. Leave the gene pool. Feed your child to the snake if they are unwilling, sweetheart. it’s not only your mind that counts, they all belong to you....

[kinoxi]

To sit down and feed your child to snake.

I think it’s kind of amusing that the same people who will condemn the parents for letting their kid playing with a snake will think nothing of letting their own offspring play with their pet dog.

What is the story behind that pic? Freaky.

IT looks like an asian python... hope that thing inside his belly is not a human being.

thanks, good snake story.
...as long as the reptile is fed properly...there should be n/p.

Re: ...hope that thing inside his belly is not a human being.

If you look closely at the snake's mouth, you will see a human left foot and toes.

Snake caught in Malaysia. That is a sheep in the stomach. Fireman lasso it with rope.

Well, he made it two years. But I bet the python will reach 5.5 meters (and another 30 kg in weight) before the boy ever reaches 5 feet.

That’s two years between photos.

Yes ... and your point would be???

[JustaDumbBlonde]

I got four years between photos. What did I miss?

[aruanan]

Crap! It must be the lunar eclipse that’s screwed up my subtraction!

Speaking of Cambodia; has anyone noticed how much Obama resembles Pol Pot?
