  1.  @TheBestEverEverEver  Snakes have lots of emotions. I would eat the girl, too, if I was hungry enough. Actually I'm much more likely to eat her, bcs I eat ten times as much as the snake. I agree that snakes probably don't love any non-snakes or become friends with them. The snake is much too stupid to connect the dots between it being fed and the daughter being there. How can a ball python kill someone?

  2. It's not trained at all. I don't think anyone ever trained a snake of that size. It's just well fed and probably doesn't know that she's edible.

  3.  @mapples5871  Probably not, but you have enough time to get a knife or sth heavy to kill it.

  4. Snakes have absolutely no concept of respect. No snake in the history of the world has ever felt insulted.

  5. Lol, it's not a wild animal. Do you think they search and search until they find a white and yellow burmese python in the wild? Those snakes all come from breeders. They are as wild as bonzai trees.

  6.  @rabbitsteew  >by "wild" I simply meant an animal not genetically adapted to life with humans 1) That's not what wild means. 2) It literally is genetically adapted to live with humans: it was bred for it's colour.

  7.  @JM-mh1pp  >Dogs and (to a lesser extent) cats were evolved to like humans. Dogs were bred to rip humans to shreds. There's dozens of kinds of dogs that you can teach to kill the average dude very easily. Wolves almost never attack humans, their danger for an adult human is basically non existant. The danger of a stray dog for an adult human might be very high. That an animal being "domesticated" means it's less dangerous than similar wild ones is wrong.

  8.  @stueymorris  Snakes routinely get their asses handed to them by smaller animals, because their ancestors committed to the negative IQ move of getting rid of legs.

  9. The snake does not cuddle her in the video and there is no indication whatsoever that it wants to be with her. The snake treats the girl the same as the rest of its environment. So that "fact" only exists in your imagination.

  10.  @Frank_Saug  I'm vastly superior to any "wild animal". But I can grant that you are not.

  11.  @user_1abc  No, it's not and the snake isn't wild and Charla Nash wasn't attacked over food.

  12.  @Carolina-Defense-Force  >It’s still considered a wild animal technically No, it's not. It comes from a breeder. A pet is wild if you or someone else caught it in the wild.

  13.  @kakahass8845  Whether it "freaks out around humans" is totally irrelevant to whether an animal is wild. Plenty of pets do freak out around humans and there's plenty of animals that you can walk up to in the wild without them running away. An animal is wild if it's caught in the wild.

  14. Always funny to see snake owners think they are friends with their snakes, while the snakes treat them like part of the environment, with no indication that the snake wants anything to do with them.

  15.  @Calisto22  It's definitely good to treat the snake well, and in general all conscious entities, no matter what they think of you and whether they can think of you. I'm in no way suggesting not to cultivate universal compassion. However that's different from friendship, which is a two way street.

  16. It's not wild. How quickly behavior changes has absolutely nothing to do with an animal being wild or not.

  17. He isn't. He fully buys into the delusion that they're friends with the snake. The snake shows absolutely no indication that it wants to have anything to do with them. For the snake they're part of the environment.

  18.  @otakuhunter4817  Plenty of people are friends with bears. That works perfectly fine. I've never seen a snake being friendly towards a person though. The most positive attitude any snake ever seems to have towards any non-snake is to ignore them.

  19. I don't see any indication of the snake being friendly towards her, enjoying being petted, etc. It just treats the girl as if she was an inanimate part of the environment: with total indifference. Come to think of it, I have never seen any snake treat a person with much more than indifference.
