Man strangled to death by it's pet Python

Snakes are wild animals, so of course they can bite you regardless of how long you’ve owned them. The same is true of any wild animal, even “cute” ones like raccoons and squirrels. Not being domesticated animals, they are genetically more prone to fight or flight responses than domestic animals.

Snake keepers manage this risk by learning to speak the snake’s language. Of course snakes don’t talk, but they communicate quite a lot of information with their behaviors and body language. Just laying in a new spot in their enclosure can be a sign that they’re sick or stressed or something like that. To keep snakes successfully you have to not only understand how they behave, but also why they behave the way they do.

Whenever the snake has been startled or is actually frightened, and wants to be left alone. A quick bite and release gets the point across. This occurs when someone startles a snake by reaching for it when it wasn’t paying attention, or grabbing it suddenly, and with snakes that aren’t tame or simply don’t like being handled. Very young snakes are often defensive, because they haven’t yet learned that humans mean no harm.
