correct me if i'm wrong .but did he say the snake ate the dog a few weeks previous??? and she was out shopping while he dropped the girls to school??? so who was minding the little boy??? the snake..weird people if you ask me..
No, though some people may have wanted me to disappear
If you look at the comments on youtube then you will find people refer to the 'Onion' which sems to make fake stories.. though it is a warning for those who do have reptiles, but I'm sure most know what they are doing with these exotic creatures..
Well, I watched this, I used to have 50 snakes in Total and the biggest was about 15 feet. I never left anyone or any thing "Alone" with my snake. I am really be bothered with the way the newspeople saying "who would know" and this crap.... It was something that should have never happened. In my opinion, it is negligent to think that you can just leave the snake and the little child alone. Even my Snake, Which was very very strong, even with her I was careful. She would by instinct squeeze my neck and her tail would drop down to hold the chair for leverage. She would adjust my spine. Anyway,,,my opinion is the owner of the snake and child: negligent, definitely "foreseeable" and plain dumb. This is sad, but Pets are sometimes governed by instinct. I always had a lock on my enclosures or even for the smaller ones a weight they could not move. I am truly surprised they are not facing some kind of jail time. Exotic pets, even dogs that are not trained or treated well can get ya.
Those Constrictors don't belong around Children! They ought to be secured in a Terrarium! I have on occasion handled fully grown Bahama-Boas,and the power of one of those Snakes at about 6ft is astounding!

Conrad, I don't have any pets these days but when I did I always did a full check on what to do. I have met many breeders, handlers (of snakes and other exotics}and pet store owners. I have never seen anyone even getting a pet like this without specific guidelines. At 15 feet I was usually with someone else when I handled My red tail boa. She was very strong indeed. Common sense....gone

Yep,it could take two or more people to handle a living Steelspring like that! Nothing to play with!
