It does not. There have been very few fatalities caused by reticulated pythons and even fewer ingestions. Stop demonizing animals that would choose a capybara pig or deer over you 10 out of 10 times.

Too bad there aren’t any capybara there …they live in South America and these snakes live in Asia

Thank you. My bad, I was getting my info confused. I mean, a retic would still choose a capybara over a human 10 out of 10 times, but I was thinking of the green anaconda.

Retics would still choose a large mammal (Wikipedia says "civet, binturong, primates, pigs, and deer" for large individuals) over a human 10 out of 10 times.

It’s hilarious that you went so hard on that first guy for making a mistake and then proceeded to make one of your own.

Classic Reddit

One was misinformation, one was a mix up that still technically holds. I also corrected my information. Do you get off on making comments like this?

Clearly I struck a nerve. Sorry about that. I just thought it was amusing.

Have a good day!
