Snake Kills toddler: Why have a snake as a pet?

I guess, I will just come right out and let it be known, that I do not snakes.

And I also think that people who have snakes as pets are out their (bleep’n) mind.

Well if you haven’t heard about the Sumter County baby that was killed in her crib at night, by her parents pet Burmese python, let me tell you about it. That’s right folks, a “pet Burmese python”. Who keeps python’s as pets, let alone a Burmese? What happened to the days of having a small dog, goldfish, or a bird perhaps?

Do you recall the story about the python that was wreaking havoc in the everglades and the picture that was taken of the 13 foot python that tried to swallow a 10-foot alligator? Well people, that was a Burmese python. A python eating alligator.

Well according to the national geographic, the U.S. has imported over 140,000 Burmese Pythons.

The mother’s boyfriend, Charles Darnell, 32, told authorities he last checked on the snake shortly after midnight. It had escaped its terrarium. He put the snake in a bag and put it back inside the glass case. Then he put a quilt over the terrarium and tied something around the quilt. State law says pythons are supposed to be kept under lock.

When next he awoke he found the 8-foot snake wrapped around Shaunnia Hare, age 2. This incident occurred in Oxford, Florida.

What a sad way to die, because of your parents ignorance. A snake is NOT a pet. It is a snake. You cannot be mad at a snake, for being what it is. Do you or don’t you agree?
