I know I will never have a python…
On the ride home this morning with Walt, he of course turning to me (slightly since he was driving) and asked me that question. He even told me it might disturb me a little bit. I laughed a little because I am not easily freaked out. Really and truly I am not. So he begins something like this, “Last week one of my APO brothers (sisters) was telling us a story about a friend of a friend, that she isn’t friends with because he is kind of strange.” Hahaha, awesome ok.
Strange. I get it. So he goes on to tell me: Well this guy had a Python that was actually pretty big and the guy slept with it every night. He loved this thing.(Honestly, knowing Walt, I thought that was the weird part but it wasn’t, he continued) Every day he would feel it a few mice and he let it roam around. One day the Python stopped eating its mice. He thought it was strange but figured that it would probably start up again. He continued to sleep with it and didn’t really question it anymore until it hit the second week. The guy promptly made an appointment with the Vet and took it in to see the Doc. The guy sets the Python on the table for the Vet to look at and explains, “I don’t know why it’s not eating. I am worried that its distressed or something. I mean I sleep with it every night and I give it everything I can. But it just won’t eat.”
The doctor immediately put the Python in a tank and turns to the guy, “You need to get the snake put down.”
The guy kind of stares at him for a second and was like, “Why?”
“The snake has been starving itself, its not healthy…” the doctor hesitated for a moment. “It has calculated how long its going to take to starve itself enough so that it can eat you.”
The guy obviously put the snake down that week.
ISN’T THAT SO EFFED UP!? OMG. It did freak me out a little. I mean could you imagine… this guy slept with the snake. One night he would just wake up and the snake would have unhinged its jaw and begun to swallow him… like from the feet up or something… omg….
I know I will never have a python… screw that.
That is the most insane story ever.
