Summary:
A 2-year-old girl escaped serious injury after the family’s 10-ft-long python tried to crush and swallow her. The snake, weighing approximately 40 lbs, wrapped itself around the girl’s neck and had her forearm down its throat and bit her on the arm. The snake had recently eaten the family’s “pet” rabbit. A police investigator removed the snake from the house and killed it.
