I really don't think this video helps our cases as large boid keepers...Sure, that snake has yet to do anything harmful to that boy or his family, but that doesn't mean that it won't at some point.
Think about it...let's say that a ton of people learn of this boy and his story with the burm. Everybody talks about what a great relationship they seem to have and whatnot...They've really shown the potential gentleness these giants can possess...yadayadayada
THEN...BAM! Snake gets hungry, kills and eats boy. Now you've got this snake, world famous for its relationship as a domesticated pet, getting TONS of negative press and it ends up reflecting back on and affecting us as keepers.
I don't know...maybe it's just me but I say those people are DUMB and ASKING FOR IT.
