Snake kills owner

and then they returned it to the family? Hopefully to make boots or a purse!


 


LANESVILLE, Indiana (AP) -- A 14-foot pet python crushed its owner to death, authorities said Tuesday after finding the snake loose in a southern Indiana shed with the man's body.


Patrick Von Allmen, 23, was found Monday evening in the shed near Lanesville, about 15 miles west of Louisville, Kentucky.


A medical examiner determined that the death was consistent with asphyxiation caused by compression of the neck and chest, Conservation Officer Mark Farmer said.


"When you're dealing with a wild animal species, you take on a certain amount of risk," he said.


Von Allmen had told family members he was going to treat the snake for a medical condition, Farmer said. He was alone in the shed with the python for about three hours before his body was found.


Relatives said Von Allmen had 10 to 12 years of experience handling reptiles, according to authorities. The family got the snake as a pet five months ago, Farmer said.


Indiana law does not restrict ownership of snakes, and the python was returned to the family.

"Boots or a purse" - That's terrible, Ruby! 


Note, he said "When you're dealing with a wild animal species, you take on a certain amount of risk."   And he's right.

I know, but why give him back to the family? He needs to be in a zoo. I am not suggesting they kill him, I am just thinking that is what the family would do! Sorry, really I want him to live! I likes snakes!

You know, it is very rare to find a woman who likes snakes, but is afraid of birds?

LOL! Never thought of it that way! I was attacked by a bird, hence my fear of all things that fly! I had a boyfriend that had a ball python and while he was moving I had to pet sit it for about a month and I fell in love!
