(#6) A Woman Tried To Give Her Pet Python Medicine, So He Killed Her
Diablo the snake lived up to his name when he killed his owner, 25-year-old Amanda Black, in October 2008. Black was trying to give Diablo medicine by herself when the snake decided he was not a fan.
Black's husband found his wife's strangled body on the floor next to Diablo's empty container. Animal control was able to recapture Diablo, who had wedged himself between the wall and the container.
"The snake did not like being given the medication, nor did he like the medication," Black's husband kept repeating to animal control. Seems like an understatement.
(#4) A Boa Constrictor Almost Ate Off This Ohio Woman's Face
An unidentified Ohio woman had a strange hobby of rescuing boa constrictors. Where or how she was rescuing boa constrictors in Ohio is confusing enough; the 911 call she made after a newly rescued boa constrictor wrapped itself around her head is even more mind-boggling. You can listen to the July 2017 call above, in which you can hear the dispatcher saying, "I've never heard of this before."
A firefighter responded to the call and saw the woman on the driveway. Fortunately, he was able to get the snake off of her face... by cutting off its head.
(#2) A Florida Couple Was Charged With Murder After Their Python Killed Their Two-Year-Old Daughter
In July 2011, A Florida couple - Jaren Hare (21) and Charles Darnell (34) - found out the hard way that a duvet cover, bungee cords, and safety pins do not adequately confine a Burmese python to its tank. The snake, which had repeatedly escaped, was found wrapped around the couple's two-year-old daughter while it was biting her face. The girl was already dead by the time she was found.
Law enforcement officials called it more than an accident; since the snake had escaped so many times, and its cage was not sufficient, the couple was charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter of a child. Hare and Darnell were sentenced to twelve years in prison.
To top it off, the unemployed couple apparently didn't feed the snake either - a starving snake is not a happy snake. It was only 13 pounds at the time it killed the young girl; a Burmese python should weigh about 150 pounds.
(#5) A Python Escaped Its Enclosure And Killed Two Young Boys
In November 2016, an apartment above a reptile store became a murder scene after an African Rock Python escaped through a vent and killed two young boys, ages 5 and 7, in Canada. The store's owner, Jean-Claude Savoie, was charged with criminal negligence after the boys' autopsies showed puncture wounds and snake bites on the boys' faces and evidence of strangulation. The python in question was Savoie's own pet, and the parents of the dead boys had noticed a missing vent cover in its enclosure weeks before. Savoie's own son, who was sleeping in another room, was completely unharmed.
(#12) A Wildlife Expert Was Almost Killed Doing Her Job
Debi Grudzinski, a wildlife rehabilitator, was attacked on the job in July 2011 by a boa constrictor. She had cared for the boa for eight years, and the snake started wrapping itself around her arm when she was watering it. Luckily, the woman's daughter called 911, and both the rehabilitator and the snake lived. However, she's done caring for snakes - one close call was enough.
(#7) This Professional Snake Handler Was Killed By His 25-Foot-Long Python
In September 2017, Dan Brandon, an experienced snake handler, was found dead next to his pet python, Monty. Medical officials were able to determine that Brandon died of asphyxia; it is believed the 25-foot python wrapped itself around Brandon and crushed him to death.
Authorities have not closed this case, although given the way Brandon died and the horrifyingly large snake next to his dead body, it is safe to assume his python had something to do with his death.
