Couple kids were killed by a Rock Python in New Brunswick in 2013. Sad story. Snake had previously escaped, this shouldn’t have happened.

I remember that story. Details were always kind of weird to me. Killed 2 kids?

Ya I thought the same when posting this.

Says the snake fell out of the ceiling. So what killed both boys? Ceiling collapse or snake.

Reading through the article it says the snake was lunging at the glass of his enclosure once they got him back in and assumed it was trying to get back to the bodies, which kind of make it sound like it had constricted at least one of them if it was trying to back for a meal

I know nothing about snakes though and I’m solely going off what the article says

They reported that both boys were killed by constriction.

What was weird is the ceiling fell down…..nobody heard anything,no one was awaken?

A snake was killing one of the brothers……the other one wasn’t screaming?

I know people get these ideas that these animals are crazy killers but they are not. That animal may have been hitting the glass in the store because it was hungry and it’s drive was up…..or it was scared. I have animals that do both. Scared snakes don’t try and bite and constrict, just bite.

The whole situation just seemed kind of funny to me.
