Im so sick of "oh that poor kid" had her stupid parent and step parent followed the laws she would still be here. had they fed there "pet" shed still be here. so if a dog was starved and tried to eat her would that mean we ban all dogs? NOPE.
I watched the Fox vid and it put me to tears to see how skinny that burm was. And they stabbed it before it got away! All it wanted was food!

I agree, for all we know the dumb owner had it in some Ghetto rigged cage it got out hungry and tried to eat on the first thing it found that could possibly be swolloed cause i find it hard to believe a underweight snake like that would eat a child at 2 which to that snake is pretty big... it really grinds my gear to hear how the press make it seem that snakes are so evil like that just go out hunting for Peoples children and eat them, its dumb. I think they should be trying to prevent idiots like that from owning Big Body herps... just my opinions and two cents

I find this a horrible tragic loss for that poor child, I would not wish that on anyone ever. I personally believe the Mother and live in boyfriend should be 100% accountable due to the fact that the snake was not registered,micro chipped and was in an enclosure that was not secure enough. I own plenty of snakes I have 4 kids and no matter how hard money times get or not There is always food in that freezer for all my snakes and they are fed regularly and are at appropriate weights for there age’s along with there lengths. That snake there was in my opinion severely under weight. To think the snake had got out earlier in the day or whenever is appalling to know that he didn’t re-enforce the cage after the first time. I am not stating mine have never got out I have had 2 out in an 8 yr period a small ball and the most recent an 8 foot red tailed, but I have taken precautions for it not to happen again and seeing mine where found hiding makes me wonder how long the snake in question had it’s last meal as mine was due for her meal and not a strike hiss or nothing when i retrieved her. So as i end my little Canadian me rant. Once again I am sorry it had to come to a little girl dying, but people should help accountable and when i say people I mean her Mother and live in boyfriend and others who do not take the time to give a damn about any pet they did this to pitbull’s and many other types of animals and I pray it doesn’t come to you guys(Americans) losing your rights on these beauty’s as I know it will happen here shortly after there. I for one don’t wanna lose any of my reptiles!!
This is Boots when we first got him not very old at all
This is a photo taken 2 days ago at under 2yrs old

Yea i’ve seen a lot of ignorant posts online and heard a lot of negative things since the florida incident. I actually argued with some people for days on a website and someone actually got so mad they figured out a way to delete my posts. Link

I’ve heard a few rumors at a reptile show last week that they aren’t entirely sure that the snake killed the child. I heard the coroner hasn’t released the cause of death yet as they suspect maybe the boyfriend may have had something to do with it. Who really knows though. Either way it’s the parents fault. You’d think if you had small children you’d make dam sure they couldn’t get out.

It is still up in the air. People have said that the FL gov. has been looking for a snake attack. They wanted to ban all pythons not just burms. And this was his chance to jump on pushing that bill.
Im sad this child had to lose her life over her mothers actions. I have a 9yr old and would never own a pet I did not think I could handle and care for. And one who will reach 15 ft! My state {KY} is looking into banning pitbulls because of a situation simaler to this. The dog was under fed and beaten. It got off its chain and killed a 5yr old child. I just dont under stand why people cant see its NOT the animals fault.
and I love those pics of the kids with your burm. Lol takes 3 of them to pick him up. very cute!

o my god! how could anyone say im sick of hearing oh thet poor kid. she was two years old and was strangled by an 8 foot reptile what a tragic way to go especially at such a young age yes it was unfortunate that the snake wasn’t well cared for but its just a snake and should be killed.

im sorry im going to have to disagree with that. I believe the low life boyfriend should be killed for letting the snake strangle the child. I believe he should be constricted to death. Its not the snakes fault its the pathetic excuse of parents the poor child had
