Ouch, ouch and ouch.

He probably won't remember this near-death encounter but I hope the boy recovers from this.

Glad the boy (and the snake?) are okay. Must have been pretty scary, especially with the intellect of someone so young, but he'll bounce back.

" I suppose a two-year-old boy is not much different from a wallaby "

Umm.... well yes OK, from the snake´s point of view. Sounds like a dangerous for little children.

the snake okay? are you kidding? I hope they pickled the buggar! It is a very good remedy potion, and while this snake isnt poisonous it is lethal, and it seems to have made it's territory close to houses. In an area where the ratio of snake to human must be at least 20:1, if not more, save your animal hike until your bold enough to live there, smith

The hell with that snake! I know plenty of Chinese who know how to cook it up real good! Poor little boy and that bad snake time to take it to China Town, they will make it nice and yummy for you mates.

the snake was not poisonous and he was released from hospital after 24 hours’ observation.

How about the boy?

illsayit: "the snake okay? are you kidding? I hope they pickled the buggar!"

Why? The snake did nothing wrong. If they killed it removing it from the boy then, yeah, I hope they got at least some use out of it.

"In an area where the ratio of snake to human must be at least 20:1, if not more, save your animal hike until your bold enough to live there, smith"

Bold, or just stupid if the place is as dangerous as you say? Like I said, I'm glad the boy is okay, and hope he's not traumatized from the experience, but I see no point in killing the snake if there's no need.

Illsayit, you think the python made HIS home to close?! Try the other way around. Animal attacks are increasing worldwide because WE build our homes too close to animal homes.
