I can see a python killing one kid, easily. I’ve seen stories on adults being killed by their pet pythons ... if one gets the right hold and pins your arms or is around the neck, say bye-bye. It’s the “two” in a row I’m having trouble with. They don’t usually kill, let go and move on .... they kill, hold on, and try to eat what they’ve killed. If the second kid was trying to help the first, maybe there would be a defensive strike and it would let go and coil the 2nd kid. Some pythons, like Rock pythons are very aggressive so I’ll be interested to see what it turns out to be. I’m still thinking there’s more to this.

I agree with you. A constrictor such as a python or a boa would asphyxiate its victim, then consume it. It would not leave 2 dead prey items. They don’t kill for fun, like a sheep-killing dog or something.
