AUSTRALIAN BOY WAKES UP TO PYTHON EATING HIM

A sleeping Australian boy awoke to find a python wrapped around his arm, biting him in the dark. It happened around 1:30 a.m. Feb. 8 in Whiteside, near Brisbane. The boy was able to rouse his parents for help before suffering any serious injuries. The 3.2-foot coastal carpet python was wrapped around his arm and it had bitten him twice on the hand. The father unwound the snake from the son’s arm, and the boy was taken to a hospital to have the bite wounds checked. His dad said the boy is … “very shaken.”

* Good luck convincing this kid there are no monsters in the closet.
* For the next few weeks he wants to sleep in the bathtub.
* A boy’s arm is very similar in size to a 3-foot snake. Are they sure the snake was trying to eat him, or, you know, mate with him?
* The python wanted him to be his main squeeze.
