Baby Killed By a Snake.

[darroll]

How could the parents be blamed for this? I don’t see how they could.
Pythons just slink across the ground, they move very slow.
This snake was a pet that escaped, how awful.
Parents, watch your children.

Pythons are not slow and slinky. They stalk their prey stealthily but move with great speed for the final strike. By the time you see the python, you're almost certainly within its striking distance.

When you say slinky, I think you're thinking of boas. Particularly feather boas.
