Ok, as a biology major, y’all need to chill. Snakes this big are incredibly docile. They have been bred this way. Furthermore, the person taking care of this animal could not properly take care of them if they did not feed them regularly and well. This child is in no more danger than if she was sitting next to a big dog.
Oh, and on snake yawning, the person above is wrong (SOURCE 1; SOURCE 2)
Some people take massive leaps to turn something innocent into a fucking issue
stop going after snakes please theyre misunderstood as it is
It’s still not a good idea to put small creatures near large snakes. That kid is too big for the snake to eat, but the snake climbing on the kid could still be an issue, snakes are heavy and difficult to remove if they decide to wrap around something. Just like you wouldn’t let a large dog sit on top of your kid.
