OMG!!! Just last week a pet python got out of its cage and killed a little baby girl. They held the top of the cage down with only a quilt and in the middle of the night, the snake got out and climbed into the baby's crib. The next morning the man got up and found the snake wrapped around the little girl, she had be suffacated and had bite marks on her head. The snake tried to eat her. The man actually had to stab the snake to make it let go, but by then it was way to late. Police are trying to decide on what kind of charges to bring against him. You're right, these snakes just need to be killed, period.
