yeah!

Take better precautions for your snake, man. And like #26 said, be thankful that it didn't get to a kid. Some dumb ass parents in Florida owned a Burmese, it escaped and killed their kid. Now there is fear that they may be made illegal, and it may also effect other species of snake. My brother is worried that he may have to give up his beloved ball python because of this shit. Stuff like this happening is NOT GOOD for responsible owners.

#27: A six foot snake can't kill a kid. The largest thing it can kill is, actually, a rabbit. The snake would have to be much bigger to kill a child. That burmese was probably about 20 feet long, maybe 15 minimum. And if Florida is going to ban a ball python, which won't get any bigger than 3 ft, over a snake that can keep growing (the largest burmese I've had was about 22 ft, and that was because the previous owner overfed it), they're just dumb.

@41: You're wrong, a six-foot constrictor most definitely COULD kill a small child.

some ball pythons get up to 6 feet but that is usually the biggest they get

I agree, what a douchebag, man, because he INTENTIONALLY let his snake constrict the neighbor's rabbit, right? Deadly animal? Deadly in what sense of the word? Deadly as in capable of killing something? Most all pets fit under that category, excepting herbivores like rabbits and gerbils and whatnot. Deadly as in capable of killing a human? Still no, as the snake would probably have to be larger, unless you put small children in the equation. Besides, a mid-sized dog could be more deadly than the snake described.

#28 All pets(big pets like dogs and snakes, not hamsters) can(-emphasis) be deadly. It just depends on how you raise it. Like some dogs are raised to be playmates to three year olds and some, guard dogs.
