In the town of Campellton, New Brunswick, there was a horrific attack by an African Rock Python in 2013. This particular breed of snake can weigh up to two-hundred pounds, reach lengths of up to sixteen feet, and easily claim its prey with strangulation.
The victims in this tragic case were two young boys, who were in exactly the wrong place, at exactly the wrong time. They were staying the night at a family friend’s apartment, which was in the same complex as an exotic pet store.
The death reports stated the cause of the boys’ deaths as asphyxiation, and the escaped python was identified as the killer.
The night of the incident, the enormous snake was left in an enclosure not too far from where the four and six-year-old victims were sleeping. It was obvious how the python escaped from its cage, as there was an outlet in the ceiling that was left unclosed after maintenance.
The python was able to slither up into the ventilation system, which soon collapsed under the weight of the reptile. This left the python loose in the living room, where it came across the two defenseless youths sleeping
