Since that time it was decided that having such a huge snake where we lived was somewhat dangerous for us, as well as, others. We lived in a community setting and we decided it was better to keep smaller snakes as pets. It was a relief to me as we had, had a few close calls with Wiggly, in feeding her rabbits. So no more big snakes in our house.
I was very concerned about my husband's safety in regards to getting bitten or squeezed.
I have seen snakes much larger than the one we had and was amazed at how trusting people can get that they forget to be careful and all it takes is letting your guard down for a minute and getting bitten in the face or some other vital area. More often we hear about alligators getting children or pets. Very little is heard about snake bites as the owners are afraid of loosing their pets. But I am sure it happens a lot, and just is not headline news.
