That is soooooo sad . And she was cute too. To bad her DUMB father kept a PYTHON SNAKE in the house at NIGHT. And didnt have a permit. Thats a shame.

RIP Shaunnia. You deserve to be in a better place!

we had two snakes while my youngest brother was a baby (he is 12 now) we had a boa constrictor and a burmese python and my dad built a large wooden tank for it n always kept it locked, this is clearly the parents fault for keepin it in a poorly constructed cage or not makein sure the cage was locked properly

Wow.I guess it is true, you can’t change stupid. The majority of people here jump at blaming the snake right away and say kill them or they shouldn’t be pets etc. Any animal can turn on its owner. Hell, should we flush all gerbils next time one bites a fingertip stuck in a cage? Grow up and know what you are talking about. Many people are afraid of snakes because they are uninformed or worse yet misinformed. My girlfriend thinks snakes are gross but leaves personal opinions aside so her daughter doesn’t grow up ignorant.It comes down to respect and responsibility for these and all animals. Stupid is forever and most of you have helped prove this once again.

I swear some people need a permit before they are allowed to have a child. I agree that this is very sad and distrubing news, but all pets are animals, and they have instincts. More and more, you hear about parents being irresponsible and it leading to injury or death of their own children. The pet should not be held accountable. Parents will be ignorant and continue to have pets interact with small children and more will suffer due to the negligence of those parents. The next time your own child is around your family pet i want you to think, is that animal suitable around a child? Dont take a chance. Your children shouldnt suffer from your lack of judgement. Think…Thats all it takes!

put yourself in the 2 year old’s shoes. think about it. being there. a giant snake coming after you. not knowing what to do and then it strangles you. and all you want is your mommy but you cant have her because you are trapped.

this is super-sad and i hope that this dose not happen again.

LAW ENFORCERS SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS! DO NOT LET LARGE SNAKES IN HOMES WITH CHILDREN OR ANY HOMES AT ALL. THEY ARE VERY CRUEL ANIMALS AND THIS NEEDS TO STOP!

well, an expert the local wildlife center on our news said that these snakes don’t go after humans, but that if the toddler had the scent of a family pet (like a dog, etc) on her, then the snake would smell that and not be able to differentiate between the child and the dog.

if you have the capability to properly and safely house this size snake, then it should be safe. you don’t hear about them breaking out of their housing at zoos because their cages are properly secured.

kathy, these snakes aren’t generally dangerous and you can’t command a pet snake to attack a child, much less command it to do anything else as they are quite primitive. so there isn’t much to investigate – it was a sad, sad accident and a morbid lesson in responsibility.

I have a snake too. They are great pets but it is defenitly irresponsable to have one in the same house of 2 year old!! there is no risk for an adult with that snake, but for a child…

A huge snake like this for a pet? What do you think would happen? Are you sure this was not done on purpose? Sounds strange to have any dangerous animal or snake around anyone? A pet rabbit, dog, cat, fish, but a huge snake? Please investigate.
