My former boyfriend’s younger brother was squeezed to death by his pet snake. It’s impossible to describe the trauma and pain of loss that family went through.

I’ve been praying mightily for the happy return of your “Alice”. What a beautiful boy!

Those were Burms who grow to 5 times the size of a Ball.

The first guy was a moron.

Rule #1 is “One person per 6 feet of snake”.
Rule #2 is don’t handle snakes while drunk as a skunk.

In the second case, the facts are incorrect.

The moron who had the albino Burm was keeping it in a *clothes basket* with a towel over it, not a secure enclosure.

His own family testified against him because he wasn’t able to afford to feed the snake and had offered him money to buy it food.

The snake was starving, its owner was a frigging idiot and the poor baby suffered for it.

I don’t know what happened to he guy but he should’ve been locked up for involuntary manslaughter, at *least*.

Ball Pythons are sissies who “defend themselves” by resorting to a quite useless tactic; they *ball up and hide their heads*.

That’s it.

No biting, no attacking, no strangling.

They just lay there and think that if they can’t see their attacker, it can’t see them.

Not a very bright strategy, IMO.
