Also, the words "stalking" is the professional snake man's term. I imagine the people probably told him about where and when they saw the snake a few times before, and he, knowing snake behavior, realized that is what it was doing and that's what he told the reporters.
I feel sorry for the family . I'm sure it was extremely horrifying to all of them. |
Oh I would go near it. My husband had a 14 ft python when I met him that I have handled. I ain't skeered
I always catch snakes in the yard in the summer here for the kids too.
I'd gut the sob and get my dog. Constrictors typically kill the animal before eating it, but I would want it at least for burial purposes and because I wouldnt allow the snake the satisfaction of digesting my pet. Even though really, the snake wasnt really at fault. Snakes eat, just like dogs eat, and if it was hanging around and no one made it leave, it probably figured it was ok to eat the dog. Snakes arent the smartest critters, they dont know a pet from a lunch.
