WHat's further, what kind of irresponsible (beep) is just waking up at 10-11 am with a two year old in the house? I have a two year old and I'm lucky to sleep till 8. The snake was emaciated, put in a sack in a tank overnight and basically told to play nice. Why this animal was kept like this (what's worse, why it had access to this child) are things I can't even fathom. If they do not charge this creep with criminal negligence (or worse)I would be appauled. This type of behavior is disgusting, and gives me grief from my frieds who know I keep constrictors in the house with my two year old, and at work when people ask me about our retic exhibit. (seriuosly, i get questions like "has it ever killed anyone", or "how many people would it kill if it got out?" & my personal favorite--"if ya don't feed it people than what's that there anaconda eat then?"--that's right, anaconda, while standing next to the large exhibit sign that says reticulated python. )Anyway, my heart goes out to that little girl and any non-idiot relatives she may have--at least she's safe from them now.
