Nowadays, many families regard kittens and dogs as their pets and love them very much. But, can you believe that some people keep pythons as pets? He even said: The python and the child were siblings in his previous life.
What's going on? Let’s take a look at the example of raising pythons as pets.
6-year-old boy sleeps with a python for 6 years
In Cambodia , the pet of the 6-year-old boy turned out to be a female giant python that is 6.1 meters long and weighs 120 kilograms! Moreover, this giant python and the little boy were inseparable, eating and sleeping together for 6 years.
This is the thing. The little boy is named Sam Bath, and his home is located in the suburbs. Six years ago, when Sambas was only three months old, a female Burmese python that should have lived in the forest suddenly appeared in the boy's yard for some unknown reason. At that time, the python was only half a meter long.
Sambass' mother thought it was a good sign. The snake entered the house and believed that it would bring good luck to the family, so she prayed that the snake would stay at home.
Strangely, this little python seems to be human and really stays at home from now on. When the neighbors heard about this, they all came to watch it, but many adults were frightened when they saw the python, but the young Sambass hit it off and soon became close friends.
For 6 years, he has slept with the python every day, and even ran to the python during meals.
6 years have passed in a flash, and the former little python has grown into a behemoth 6.1 meters long and weighs 120 kilograms. Such a "happy life" will continue.
As Sam Bass leaned against the back of the python, "I love this python very much. It is like my sister. It protects me at all times and keeps me away from danger."
A half-meter-long python has grown into a 6.1-meter-long "giant pet", which is really bold. As the python grows day by day, it costs more and more money, and every week it has to prepare 5 to 6 chickens.
Whenever someone asks the boy's parents, they are afraid of the giant python attacking their family, the boy's parents proudly say: "Don't be afraid, such a thing will not happen. The child is born in the Year of the Dragon, which can protect him from all dangers on the ground."
Born in the Year of the Dragon can avoid all dangers. This sounds like there is a bit of superstition. However, after 6 years of being together, the giant python has never attacked anyone.
However, in the United States, a family raised a Burmese giant python, and the giant python strangled the owner's 3-year-old girl to death.
The power of pythons
There are about 60 kinds of pythons in the world, and their sizes vary. For example: a king python can grow about 1 meter long; but a tiger python can grow up to 5 meters; and the largest python is a navy python that lives in South America, which can grow up to 10 meters long. Pythons have lived on Earth long before humans appeared (about 140 million years ago).
Boons mainly eat mammals, birds and big lizards, and can also swallow a pig. Sometimes you can hear reports about pythons killing a child or an adult in a certain place.
Those who have seen snakes eat live animals will never forget the thrilling scene. The seemingly motionless python will suddenly pounce on it within a few seconds, biting the prey tightly, then tighten the prey's neck and chest, slowly suffocating it, and then use its developed teeth and muscles to send it into the digestive tract bit by bit. The whole process can be seen clearly through the python's body. The python is non-venomous snake . They also don't have to carry poison, because they have enough ability to kill each other.
Can I keep pythons as pets
In fact, more than 10 years ago, there were many families in the United States who kept pythons as pets, and the pythons they raised were all well-known imported varieties, such as Burmese pythons, African rock pythons, etc.
As the python grows day by day, the expenses are also increasing day by day, and conflicts between humans and pythons are gradually becoming more frequent. Under pressure, breeders release adult pythons to the wild at will, and new species will spread to the new environment due to the lack of natural enemies. Only then will the current real-life version of the "crazy python disaster" exists in Florida, USA.
The problem of raising pythons at home should be treated specifically. Small pythons can be kept domestically, and there is no problem, but safety measures are required to raise large pythons. Pythons live in human homes and if they live in the right conditions, they will feel more comfortable than in nature. However, there will be no relationship between humans and pythons similar to that between humans and dogs.
Most of the pythons in the breeding hall are artificially trained. The breeders have received professional training and have complete safety measures. They can also get used to people. The relationship between a child and a python mentioned at the beginning can only be said to be a coexistence and coexistence relationship.
Raising snakes at home is dangerous, and even life-threatening. Judging from the size of the python, it can swallow the child and not raise it well. After all, snakes are cold-blooded animals and it is difficult to have feelings for people.
If it were you, would you dare to raise pythons?
