Here in Vegas yesterday a 3 year old child was bitten near its armpit by a 325 pound Tiger Python and the snake had the head of the child in his mouth as the mother enterted the bedroom where the snake was kept.

She had gone to the bathroom and the child somehow wandered into the room where the snake was kept, and was bitten and the snake then began constricting around the baby.

The mother ran to get a knife while calling 911, and stabbed the snake 17 times until it loosened its grip and she was able to free the child. The police she had called arrived and opened the door to the bedroom only to find a really ticked off snake and the fight was on with officers flying every which way, when animal control arrived, and the snake was finally darted and subdued, it was taken to the local pound and put down.

The police said the animal paid the price for the neglect of the owner. The woman is being charge with child endangerment and keeping a dangerous pet in the city limits.

Imagine a 325 pound, 17 foot snake in your home. That woman must be nuts!
