If it was fed properly, then it was a patsy, because I highly doubt a wellfed, nonvenomous snake would strangle a sleeping, supine or prone person, let alone TWO, for the hell of it.
We'll know for sure when the boys' autopsies come out.

What I don't understand is why didn't the snake after strangling one of the boys try to eat it? I don't think it could constrict both of them at the same time. Sounds like a double PNA to me.

This story has been all over the news. People are calling for more restrictions and penalties, but there already ARE restrictions for owning such pets in Canada. Even the Vancouver Aquarium has to have specialized licensing to keep dangerous animals such as these particular snakes.
The snake was euthenized, and it was fed properly according to the autopsy. It wasn't starving. I figure that it was insufficiently housed, and finally managed to escape. I don't blame the snake one bit. How in the hell do you even house a 20 foot snake? It was probably cramped and suffering. These animals belong in the WILD, not in an apartment, house or pet store.
I feel terrible that these kyds had to die this way because of another person's negligence. I feel sad for the snake too, because it was just doing what pythons do.

Hey, guess what? Looks like the snake wasn't responsible at all. Preliminary reports are saying it might have been carbon monoxide.
It's such complete shit. The owner of the store said himself the kids looked like they were asleep; no wounds, no signs of trauma, nothing. If a snake that size had strangled the kids, there would have been contusions, bruises, possibly broken bones. Those kids would NOT have looked "asleep".
So a beautiful animal was killed for nothing. And people are still screaming about a ban on reptiles. Fuck that. Nobody's taking my babies away from me.
