@jasmintee27 I happen to be a ball python owner and care giver and ime 11 and yes they do make good pets pepole like you only look at the negitive parts of snakes and there is way more positive than negitive things in snakes . When I rescued my python and cryed when I got her she made me the happyest person in the world and wouldent be without her!! Don't say stuff like they arnt good pets cause if you achuly reaserch there amazing pets even better than dogs and cats and are wonderful first pets
those were stupid people having a burmese python as a pet witha 2 year old child ! and more stupid is who have one .dumb ass people wake up moron uhhh!!! look my nice burmese python ,it will grow up and may be will end it up swollow me look how stupid I am .
A bunch of you are talking about animals being native or not first of all the population of burmese pythons in the everglades are from the hurricane in 1992 when one snake keepers facility was destroyed and hundreds of pythons were released by accident. Second we as the majority of people are not native to North America, so maybe we should leave to. Stop watching the media and movies that describe snakes as human killing machines, its not true. Try learning about them, you will see.
@DarkAngel7821 Size has nothing to do with it. Almost all snakes eat some form of pest. Even large, 18ft pythons eat rats and mice. Not all of them eat large pray. I've got a 12ft python that will only eat rats, so he has to have 4 in one sitting
The size of an animal has nothing to do with its 'worth'. If you said the same thing about every large animal thats been know to kill a human, we would have nothing left. lions, tigers, bears, sharks, hippos, silverbacks ect. It was the OWNERS fault
@DarkAngel7821 Why should they? If all snakes were killed, the world would never be the same. Imagine the amout of rats, mice, and other pests. Snakes are a VERY important part of the ecosytem. Without them, wide spread famine and disease would become a problem in a matter of months. Education is the key to stopping accidents of this kind.
People like you are the ones that need sorting out. The snake was just being a snake.
I agree the owners were not responsible, even if you have a dog that bits it'll kill a child if you dont put it away correctly! Not the snakes faul, it the owners.
@mittaku Owning these snakes while having childrem isn't a bad thing. I have over 40 snakes, including 2 of the ones in th video, and a reticulated python (longest snake in the world), and I have a toddler. As long as you're not an idiot, you should be fine keeping them. Mine are all in my LOCKED animal room. Ifone excapes, it's going nowhere. When big snakes are involved, it's the job of the person who owns it, to keep others safe.
@DemonLDR you offical have no life based on the comments you leaving for people. it shows Dude get a life look at how quick and fast you responded to my comment. It took me 10 hours to respond yours. Its like your waiting for people to comment back to you don't bother comment back now cause your annoying. And yes I have a snake 5 years now ball python. Again get a life and stop trolling, yes we both comment the video but who's commenting who first. it's obvious you have no life look at your vidz
@ernesdee2o916 Officially? Now who decided on that?I have a life. Most of my work is done online, hens the reaason I'm online a lot. Unlike you, I dont go writing random misinformation. Owning a royal doesnt mean you know everything about snakes. Even my 3yr old knows the average size of a burm. As for my videos, it's called 'fun'. Fun is something people do for entertainment. Also, do you have a problem with punctuation? About 70 words, and just the 1 full stop? More proof you're an idiot.
This Snake is full grown and the owner probably didn't have it for too long for the snake to get use to them and become familar with the people around it.
@ernesdee2o916 Why leave a comment that is 100% untrue, and VERY stupid. The snake is not even close to fully grown. These snakes can become massive. The on in the video only loos a few years old. these snakes can reach over 18ft, and weigh more than an adult man.
The poor child died because of the snakes owner. It was his responsiblity to keep it secure. If a drunk driver killed a child, it's his fault; not the cars.
Why not educate yourself a little before talking rubbish
@DemonLDR if im wrong my bad but how is that a stupid comment? and why the fuck are you even respond to my comment anyways you must not have a life. (yawn) if anything, dont bother sniffing up y ass again little boy cause i really have no time to respond to your comment and be your text buddy go play with yourself i wasnt even talking to you in the first place and again if im wrong, im wrong no need to call people stupid if there wrong you must be really stupid to think that.
@ernesdee2o916 I I never called you stupid, but tbh, I wish I did now. That way, your reply would have some reason behind it. Read it again. I said the comment was stupid, stupid. If you know nothing about snakes, why make out you do? We BOTH responded to the video, so if I have no life, you also must have no life. You wasn't talking to me? I'm sorry, I thought a PUBLIC comment box was designed to enable people to comment, and share opinions on the titled video? I must have been wrong.
not responsible enough for a kid and also not responsible enough for a snake. just look how skinny that snake is! might sound hard but i think the snake did a good job! they really needed a lesson!!
the snake cant have been kept all that secruely. i dont care what anyone says i have a mate who keeps snakes and she has never had any problems with any of hers. so if you take the responsibility for them properly then everything will be fine
"pet python" if their pets then why did he run immediately to the infants room once he saw the snake gone? why? cause he knows its deadly....so all you idiots claiming pythons are just friendly pets......f off
@232323C Snakes are not friendly. Snakes are built to kill, and consume other animals, if people don't realise this, then they should keep a pet hamster. Snakes do not have a conscience, and will bite the hand that feeds them. Yes, many are 'tame', but all are still dangerous, and require a secure place to live, so this sort of thiing is avoided.
When a dog kills someone, people don't say 'all dogs should die'. They blame the owner. The same works for snakes. Keep them secure. Simple!
@DemonLDR i agree up to the comparison to dogs...ok yes as far as hurting people it comes down to keeping your pet under control at all times...However, bringing a snake into an ecological surrounding that the snake is not native to is a greater danger than just someone getting hurt. If the snake gets loose or they set them free they can wreak ecological havoc... as in florida.....quite different from dogs. Snakes are 150% wild.....you let them go and their not coming back...totally different
@232323C It doesn't matter where the animal is native to. Once an animal is in captivity, it's the owners responsability to ensure its kept in a secure enclosure. The snakes owner killed that poor child (by proxy). He should be held resposible. If I got in a car, and ran a little girl over; I'd in trouble, not the car. The man should be charged with causing her death. Dogs were also '150% wild' at one point. Just ike every other animal on earth, including us! Florida is sad, but was avoidable.
@DemonLDR Listen your missing the point. I view it as "why allow something in that is not native to an area that if it got out could populate quickly and ruin the ecological balance of the native species? its like playing God. Why take that chance at all? Dogs are native to just about everywhere. They're here already. Why bring in a species that is a dangerous not native species just for the mere amusement of its owner? Unfortunately you cant count on people to be responsible.
@DemonLDR Dogs are native to North america for centuries now and they have not upset the ecological balance. We can control their population etc. snakes are different...Once out they hide and are hard to find and reproduce in dramatic proportions and they can and DO prey on native species. They can upset the entire ecological balance. They should not be allowed in in the first place to prevent what is happening in Florida in the first place. too late . we can stop it from getting worse though
@232323C annoying kid dont you agree? Just ignore his comments its obvious the kids need someone to talk to. His dad must raped him or something and he just need attention.
that phonecall sounds like a lie. he sounded like he was faking. seriously, if he was really sad he would have been sobbing the whole convo, not just at the very end of it. of course speculation aint enough to stand up in court.... sadly
@MrCoryjohnson1 not that im agreeing with the idiot. buuut, technically, we're all animals, and the animal was abusing the animal (the first animal being the snake, the second being the kid) thats if you wanna get technical about it :p.
Well now heres the thing, if you want a dog, get a Golden retriever. If you want a snake, get a garden snake. You own killer pets and then they ruin peoples lives. Could you imagine if your stupid pet python killed your child? Id put myself through a wood chipper.
@ajmizur Well here's the thing. First, it's a garter snake, not garden snake. Second, it's not a stupid pet python, it's the stupid owners that don't know how to take care of they're pets. That python should have an escape proof enclosure, especially if you have a child. That and it looked thin, meaning the owners probably neglected it making it hungry. A Burmese Python can be a great pet if you have the time, space and knowledge for it.
I HAVE OWNED EVERY LAGRE SNAKE IN THE WORLD BERMES RETIC ROCK PYTHONS GREEN AND YELLOW ANACONDA ALL OF THEM AND THE RESSON PEOPLE GET KILLED IS IF YOU CANT KEEP THEM IN THERE CAGE THEN DONT HAVE THEM AND ALSO I HAVE TWIN GIRLS THAT ARE 9 MONTHS AND THEY ARE STILL ALIVE AND NOT DEAD SO IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING DONT GET THEM ITS NOT THE SNAKES FALT FEED THE THING AND IT WILL NOT KILL NO ONE
I dont know why they blame the snake Oo, there are more ppl killed by dogs, i know ppl with much bigger burmese pythons, i handle them my own, let them come to my neck and so on, i´m still alive.
The guys which blame the snakes are idiots, snake´s are not equal, there are ones with good and bad nature, i got 2 too, one would probably kill me when i give him the chance, it hates me, one is so kind, that i can watch tv with it and take a bath ;O, just search in youtube for kid and giant python.
Lesson 1: Keep your snake WELL FED, and this is gauranteed to never happen. Snakes kill to eat, not to be like humans and just kill, especially a non venomous snake.
@jenn882009 very good point you have made PEOPLE are stupid it was the neglect of the parents that killed this child not the snake being a mindless killer
@mar1j4ne burmese pythons are illegal to own as pets for this very reason, they can kill adults not only children. it's idiots that sneak them into their homes that cause these things to happen. certain animals are restricted as pets for a reason.
@jenn882009 hmm yet dogs are still aloud to be pets even though they kill over 10x that of any snake that is kepts as pets so the ban on pythons is totally pointless if it happened in my country id do everything i could to get dogs and cats banned if i carnt have my pet why should everyone else
I hate idiots who try to rationalize crap away. It DOES NOT MATTER how many dogs, cats, monkeys, blah,blah,blah kill. The issue is a pet python killed a 2 yr.old kid. Quite being in denial and down playing it.
@MrPmj1979 You're right, they were not responsible. However, PET pythons are only dangerous if they are sick or mistreated. This snake was probably very hungry, and it was not in a very good enclosure obviously. Burmese pythons shouldn't be owned by every day random people, but in the right hands these creatures can thrive and live very safe, docile lives.
@jmialma09 im not saying its not horrible that theyre child died.. i think the pet store they got it from should be punished for not checking if he had a licence
i didnt know about the permit thing till 3 weeks ago
Agreed. In a world with actual JUSTICE and not just law, these people would be left the fuck alone after what happened to them. Four seconds of empathy should explain this well enough.
And the village idiot that think that having these things as pets don't want to wake up and smell the coffee, when something like this happens. Now a human is death because of the stupidity of someone else.
@gotch09 agreed florida has very little responsible snake owners me being one of the experianced responsible reptile owners i wont even get a snake that big !!
its not the snakes falt its the parents the snake was just being a snake and was hungry its the parents falt for not taking care of the snake. i hate the news cuz all the do is try to make theys snakes look like killers and monsters when there not so no one should blame the snake but blame the parents
No, I agree it is the parent's fault. But it's their fault for even having such a thing. While I strongly believe animals deserve respect and have some rights as a living thing, I don't put them over ANY human.
difference between a python and a pittbull is that a pittbull is a domestic animal a python is a wild animal people have absouloutley no right to keep snakes as pets
snakes are not dogs or cats there wild animals i think its sick that people decide to keep these animals and other exotic pets like big cats and primates its wrong they belong in the wild not in your house
if you want to go see a python or tiger go to a zoo
**Also** Why was the Snake kept in a bag? As already said, this kind of thing would never happen with a well-kept, healthy and happy Snake. However, it goes without saying that the death of the child was needless and tragic. This story makes me very sad.
IMO, the Snake killing a kid and not eating it is ridiculous. The Snake would have every means of eating something that small. And even if the Snake DID kill the kid, owners' fault for not securing the cage.
You do here stories on the news (mostly deaths). Most news stories are of very rare occurrences. It's not every day a kid is strangled by a snake (I hope at least..)
It says it right in the story 12 people killed since 1980...that less than 1 every two years. People are mauled/attacked almost daily in this county by vicious dogs. You tell me what's more dangerous.
white trash and burmese pythons don't mix. That snake was not 12 foot, but by looking at it, you can tell it is totally under weight and was probably super hungry........terrible story, the piece of shit father on the 911 call has since been arrested for drugs...
@evileyedryoko04 its true u americans are idiots like if u blame the snake for this u really r idiots it wasnt the snakes fault it was the owner and the sanke shouldnt pay for that
I hate how people are biased towards snaeks especially pythons. When ONE of these incidents happens people hate the snake all the more. The blame should fall on the snake owners not the python
you CANNOT have something that big and that deadly and have kids and pets around!!! these snakes deserve the same respect as a lion or tiger, or crocodile, would you put put one of those in a cage and have it in yr lounge??
well lets see, they are all large enough to take down both small and larger animals, they are all meat eaters, they are all wild and therefore not designed to live in a house with a family with small critters or babies all over the place, er,,,,,,what else,,,,,,,,,,oh yeah,,,, and they all have bloody big mouths!!!!
yes but this one wasn't a bloody egg eater though WAS IT??? apparently not, NO!!!!{bloody 30 ft python that somene thought was a good idea to have around the kids!!!} "hey hon, you fed the snake yet?" " er, think it's just eaten!"
This is political B.S. PETA at it's worst. False facts and stretched truths. More then 800,000 people have to seek medical treatment for dog bites EACH YEAR, 26 of which die on average. Between 1979 and 1998 more then 300 Americans died b/c of dog bites. White tail deer cause 150 vehicle incident fatalities EVERY YEAR(National Safety Council). 1 in 27 American house holds own large snakes yet they are 25 times less likely to be killed by large snakes then dogs. Educate yourselves, PM ME FOR MORE
im with you dude yes this is sad but it sounds fishy to me in the video the snake was underfed i highly doubt he put the snake in a bag then in the cage.... thats bull shit.. they have released that the parents were cocaine dealers so idk were this story is gonna go tell me what u think.
I got a vid of my albino burm rate and comment plz. its on other account named badazrang3r search for bella-my albino burmese python
@BCSGTO None of the statistics you post speak at all to the terrible impacts of irresponsible owners that release their family pets into the woods and canals in South Florida. Aside from showing up on your door step and eating you, if they're hungry, they have devastated many species in the Everglades. Dogs and deer don't have that same impact.
ok u guys stop fighting and #2 poor girl she whas 2 years old im very sesative so i allmost started crying tht very sad you guys r luck tht didnt hapend to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
miguel is a fake ass poser. he's got no balls to do shit about anything in real life. he's a liar. and btw "poser" as in : trying to prove he has balls. posing as if he does.. ... on the fucking internet. faceless.
Maybe you should finger yourself with a knife up your asshole. I bet everytime you fart, your dirty asshole smells like dick from being fucked too hard in the ass you 64 year old piece of shit.
i have to agree about it not being the snakes fault, it is most certainly the owners fault, they should have not even had a snake that big aroound a little kid like that because there is always a risk
The damn news just tries 2 scare people with their BS propaganda. Wow one person gets killed and all hell is broken loose. more people are killed by dogs, horses and in baseball games than reptiles. Millions of People have dieD from cigarettes, but nothing has been done. Burmese pythons max out at 16-18 ft and Reticulated Pythons are the ones that grow 26ft Plus, GET INFO RIGHT, LOCAL NEWS!! These careless people are ruining it for loyal pet owners. We can't let them ban reptiles, Hell No !!!!!
When I was in 7th grade our teacher let the two 13-foot (and easily over 100lbs each) pythons roam around the classroom. They never bothered us or tried to eat us. They were taken care of and fed when they were supposed to be fed. I just wonder how long this snake had gone without eating. From what I understand, pythons can go a long time without eating. I don't think the child would have been a victim if the snake had been cared for properly. How horrific for that child!
How hypocritical, a snake kills a child and most say... snakes are bad-kill them, or snakes shouldnt be pets, and so on. Dogs attack more than snakes... all pets are animals, and they have instincts.
every single python in florida should be hunted and killed,florida wild life commission is very close to starting a bounty by paying by the foot for every python.i cant wait, these large constictors belong back in the shit where they came from,they have no purpose in our eco system here.
Stupid parents.... no child should be left in a situation that they can not get themselves out of. You are supposed to protect your children. Some people just are not meant to be parents or pet owners. May that little angel rest in peace and walk with Jesus. That family is in my thoughts and prayers.
I'm not knocking reptiles, but maybe it is best that they are left in the wild. Where they belong just like any other dangerous animal. This is just breath taking! My heart aches.
how fucking stupid can you get?! if you have a child..you should make sure that no dangerous animal..don't care if its your pet..should be near her! that has got to suck for the family..no matter what..the loss of a child is excruciating
I hope those people get what they diserve .parents shouldnt have a bermerse python with a 2 year old baby.they shouldnt have it in their house should keep it in like their backyard not in their house
This was a very tragic event. I hope the so called owner of the snake is brought up on charges for his part in it. And...after reading all of the comments here I learned something. WinterHaven is one sick, messed up person to think up all of that nonsense.
So dumb, burmese pythons, reticulated pythons and anacondas should be illegal, they are huge snakes that not even breeders should own, they get way bigger then any human, im e reptile keeper but never plan to get a burmese python
Lock both of their a@@es up. You should not have any potentially dangerous animal with small children PERIOD!!! imagine that little baby fighting for her life!! lock they a@@ up and anyone else who ignorantly put their child in this kind of danger. And anyone talking about proper training or any other bs gtf outta here. an animal is an animal. Babies shouldnt be sleeping under the same roof with a da&( snake or viscious dog or whatever. they willingly put that child at risk. Lock'em up!!
i have snakes and i think they are great. but alot o people should not have them they dont know how to take care o them right i the dame thing was eed the right way he would have just Rome the house and he needs to have the right age or it he needs to be killed hm self . i hate dum ass people
leave the snake alone, its the keepers fault. it is sad that the girl died, but that doesn't mean that people can ban reptiles. who keeps their snake in an uncovered cage and in a bag? that's wrong. the snake was just following it's instinct.
This news broke my heart, i just keep picturing that defenceless child, may she rest in peace xx

Well now heres the thing, if you want a dog, get a Golden retriever. If you want a snake, get a garden snake. You own killer pets and then they ruin peoples lives. Could you imagine if your stupid pet python killed your child? Id put myself through a wood chipper.
ajmizur 1 year ago 5
@ajmizur Well here's the thing. First, it's a garter snake, not garden snake. Second, it's not a stupid pet python, it's the stupid owners that don't know how to take care of they're pets. That python should have an escape proof enclosure, especially if you have a child. That and it looked thin, meaning the owners probably neglected it making it hungry. A Burmese Python can be a great pet if you have the time, space and knowledge for it.

@MrPmj1979 You're right, they were not responsible. However, PET pythons are only dangerous if they are sick or mistreated. This snake was probably very hungry, and it was not in a very good enclosure obviously. Burmese pythons shouldn't be owned by every day random people, but in the right hands these creatures can thrive and live very safe, docile lives.

IMO, the Snake killing a kid and not eating it is ridiculous. The Snake would have every means of eating something that small. And even if the Snake DID kill the kid, owners' fault for not securing the cage.

DJJEFFTV08 2 years ago
When I was in 7th grade our teacher let the two 13-foot (and easily over 100lbs each) pythons roam around the classroom. They never bothered us or tried to eat us. They were taken care of and fed when they were supposed to be fed. I just wonder how long this snake had gone without eating. From what I understand, pythons can go a long time without eating. I don't think the child would have been a victim if the snake had been cared for properly. How horrific for that child!
