If your daughter (and I have a 7-year-old) wants to watch it, she can: If she doesn't, she can turn away (screaming the appropriate sound :o). I watched this happen in the Bangkok Zoo once and found watching the death of a sentient being, alas, both abhorrent and captivating.

Feed them much faster than that, and they can go into hypergrowth. Actually, what concerned me was the rate of feeding - we only feed our boa (Arnold Snakesenegger) one rat every two or three months.

Luckly the other kid was just about the strongest kid in school, and the snake wasn't terribly big (3 feet, 5 lbs or so), so he was able to pull it off of me. then the teacher, Mr. Henderson walks in and says "hey, stay away from that. it's shedding." so, to sum up, I'm thinking "look, but don't touch" in this python situation of yours. oh man, this brings back memories of 7th grade where we had a boa constrictor in my science teacher’s class room. this one time, this other kid took it out and put it around my neck. sounds like a recipe for distaster already, right? so, as boas are known to do, the thing starts to tighten up around me.

I suspect we'd have more respect for life. I think it's great that the kids get at least a look at it in other species.
