This one is NOT funny...My initial reaction was "HOLY MOTHER OF GOD WHAT ARE THOSE PARENTS THINKING!!!" but I guess that is a cultural reaction and I would not feel that way if I were reared in an area where Giant Pythons were a common everyday thing. Although I grew up with coyotes, black bears, mountain lions, gray wolves, badgers and rattle snakes and I don't feel real warm and fussy towards any of them either....but then we didn't try to keep them as PETS! ::Shudder::
