#4. 18 Foot Python vs Angry Mom with Knife
In Las Vegas, Nevada, a family of three was temporarily sharing their home with an eighteen-foot reticulated python. For a few weeks, the parents of a three-year-old boy, Melissa and Anthony, agreed to take care of the reptile for a friend.
Still new to having such a large snake in the house, the parents slipped up and failed to properly contain the python one afternoon. After only a few weeks at the residence, the reptile was able to slither free from its enclosure.

Shortly after gaining its freedom, the snake came across something that struck its interest. Melissa and Anthony’s three-year-old son was alone in one of the bedrooms of the house.
Without much hesitation, the snake proceeded to bite and begin squeezing the toddler. By the time Melissa discovered the incident, her son was already slipping into unconsciousness.
She immediately called for help. It took six police officers, an animal control officer and Melissa with her handy kitchen knife to finally free her child from the aggressive snake.
The blue-faced child was rushed to the hospital, where he stayed the night. While he made a fine recovery, the future of the injured snake was not so bright. He was euthanized soon after the incident, and the parents of the boy faced criminal charges of child abuse.
