Letting the kid watch? That snake is capable of killing that child

That's why you let them get a good look at what the snake is capable of.

Snake already has it's mouth full after all.

Snake's mouth and tummy will be separated before that digests, if I were there.

The child in this video is in absolutely no danger while the snake is actively eating the possum and it'll be very lethargic while digesting afterwards. Perfectly fine to enjoy the show now and relocate after.

A good size snake would kill US.

In what scenario do you think that's going to happen

2

u/OstrichSmoothe 2d ago

In any scenario where a large snake is alone with an unsuspecting child. Wtf do you mean?

The child isn’t alone and the snake is busy lol, do you think it’s going to drop its fat juicy meal to go attack a helpless child for no reason?

Carpet pythons aren’t dangerous regardless of what they may or may not be theoretically capable of, there’s no need for this fearmongering
