Snakes Coils Around Baby in Crib

StrangeSnakes Coils Around Baby in CribSnakes Coils Around Baby in CribThe Associated PressA New York family suspects a snake hidden in a new crib mattress, crawled out in the middle of the night and wrapped itself around the leg of a baby sleeping in the crib. (June 11)[Notes:ANCHOR VOICE] A horror story? Maybe an urban legend? No, this story is true...A Long Island couple bought a new crib and mattress for a visit from their daughter and granddaughter.And then, in the middle of the night, on their first night home, screams sent the young mother running into the room.SOT: John Abatemarco BABY'S GRANDFATHER: "she looked in the crib and said 'what is that on the baby?' and she realized it was a snake. So, she immediately reached in, grabbed the baby and pulled her up."The baby's uncle reached in and grabbed the snake by the tail...SOT: Charles Vecchiarelle BABY'S UNCLE: "the head was on that side, and it was hissing and making a noise."The family put the California king snake into a bucket until animal control officers arrived, but the baby's mom had a tough time getting past what she'd seen.SOT: Joyce Abatemarco BABY'S GRANDMOTHER: "cari held the baby all night long. She just couldn't put her down....you know, how do you get past it?" As for where the slithering intruder came from...SOT: Brian Gunn ATTORNEY: "It certainly seems plausible that the snake was inside the mattress because there's a hole about the size of the snake's width in the plastic wrapping."The family says the mattress came from this Toys R Us store. A couple of things are certain -- the California King snake is not native to the region, and it's not venomous... but it is a constrictor that had wrapped itself around the baby's leg. ___ ___, The Associated Press

"THIS JUST IN, CAT FOUND PLAYING WITH BABY, MOTHER DISTRAUGHT!"

Well done America, another pathetic example that confirms your fear of fucking everything.

As bad as this story is, don't blame the snake or claim it should be killed. The snake wasn't roaming around thinking "Oooh, I'm gonna sneak into some crib and kill a baby" Like ROFLpwnedvideos said, it"s probably looking for warmth. And sounds like this was probably someone's pet and either got lost or was thrown away.

@89victoria07 first of all, it would only constrict if it was trying to eat her and a snake that size would know that it cant eat a human baby. second of all if it was constricting her it wouldve had a bite hold on her

the mom had a tough time getting past seeing a 3 foot long kingsnake that had a girth the size of a thumb? pathetic

Does anyone have a video clip of anaconda crushing a kid or someone too death i can see

[Dirtboxhor]

I hate snakes. This would've freaked me out. Harmless or not, I dont want any snake in the same crib as my baby. A venomous snake could have just as easily gotten inside the mattress. . luckily it wasn't.
