13-year-old Bingzhe from
Dongguan, Guangdong Province,
has been living and sleeping
together with a gigantic python
ever since he was a baby.
His father said that the black
python has been a family pet for
19 years, Yangcheng Evening
News reported. After Bingzhe
was born,
the non-venomous constrictor
became the boy’s nanny since
both of his parents were busy
working.Bingzhe was nine
months old when the 20kg
python started to sleep in the
same bed with the boy. The
unlikely pair has been best
friends ever since.
They play and have fun together.
And during hot summer nights
the snake’s cold body is a natural
air conditioner for the boy who
likes to use it as a pillow.
The pet python is currently 4-
meters long and weighs nearly
100 kilograms – big enough to
swallow an adult human. But
according to the boy’s father, the
constrictor is very tame and has
never hurt anyone.
