Python Strangles Toddler....this kind of stuff bugs me

guns or reptiles scorpions or dogs,.. or any other thing can hurt your child, it up to the parents to KEEP THEM SAFE

whether it is to eliminate the threat or to barricade the problem,.. it up to us to protect our child,..

i would love to have guns in my house, but i choose not to. to rid the chance of any accident,..

but a locked up gun can't get out by itself
a snake that big is nothing but muscle and i can't imagine any one or 6 people could stop it IF it wanted to do something,... only an iron cage with chain link inside it could stop it,.. but its still up to us

taking into consideration of any freak accident should let it out, then its our responsibility to take the punishment,..

i would not like to find out with a snake coiled around my child that i would still say the same then,..

i respect KNOWLEDGEABLE people with snakes., but when they get that big,.. not much can be done to stop them, if and when they decide, after out, to kill,..

i would love to own a lion or tiger, .but they are not tamable pets,..
only tolerable, to us,..

even your pooch can still go wild and kill,.. as i owned a jack Russel that did this,.. i didn't let him get to the killing stage but i knew he was on his way,.. we can't tell whats in the minds of creatures,.. h*ll we can tell what in the mind of our spouses,..

living out on the farm everything can snap. all livestock,.. even a psycho rooster tried kill me but soon when to slaughter auction,..lol just be careful,..

no one is right or wrong here for there is no right or wrong about this its just our judgement of what is best,.. and we hope we have the right judgement,..

hind sight is 20/20 and not before,.........

always be wary of anything live or not around our selves and our kids,..

and God protect our children from all harm,..
 
My snakes are not a risk to my children. That is my point. Just because it is a "python" or a "boa" does not make it dangerous. My snakes are no bigger than a large Cornsnake, and a heck of a lot less bitier. A Rosy Boa tops out at 18".

I am so tired of all snakes being painted in such a bad light. It is ignorance, I am sorry.

Not painting any snakes in a bad light here. It's not the snake's fault that it wants to do what it's supposed to do. BIG snakes (not those topping out at 18"), and little kids could be problematic, though.

Yeah, most kids of BIG snake owners don't get strangled, but for those who do, it likely sucks big-time.
