Boys were not smiling this morning after this snake killed a lamb in my area at Iba town, (along Isheri - Lasu road) Lagos. They ran after it and finally caught it with different types of sticks, machetes & the rest. At the end of the day, it ended in different pots.

You mean ds snake wanted to swallow this whole Lamb?

the ignorance you people are sharing is not good o.
African pythons are dangerous small or big. one bite and you are gone (dangerous mouth bacteria and inward curve teeth.)
how ever we should try and protect these animals or else one day you children will ask you what a lizard is and you will take them to the zoo.


So unafrican ones take their personal hygiene seriously?

Here in Africa we don't rear snakes, they come from the swamps, rivers and forests into our house, eat our eggs, chickens, livestock and sometimes our kids and when we catch them, we do the same. We roast and eat them. Brutality ko, affinity ni.


You funny die.... We reciprocate

This snake probably resided under that bridge after Badore, still on that Isheri-Lasu road. It's a lil' jungle down there. The snake must have been really hungry to have ventured into that neighbourhood.

It's nice forming 'victory' after killing the snake within the neighbourhood. But if dat same snake jam u 4 inside bush ehn!!...

pythons kill by constriction, they are heavily built with muscles that can shut even a human's circulatory system, thereby leading to death.

African rock python biology

Like all pythons, the African rock python is non-venomous and kills its prey by constriction (6) (cool. After gripping the prey, the snake coils around it, tightening its coils every time the victim breathes out. Death is thought to be caused by cardiac arrest rather than by asphyxiation or crushing (6). The African rock python feeds on a variety of large rodents, monkeys, antelopes, fruit bats, monitor lizards and even crocodiles in forest areas (3) (11), and on rats, poultry, dogs and goats in suburban areas (11). A few cases are also known of this python hunting humans (12).

African rock pythons feed on everything from birds and bats to medium-sized mammals. Large individuals may capture a warthog, bushbuck or even a crocodile, swallowing it whole. Poultry, dogs and goats all make the menu around human habitation. A huge meal takes months to digest.

It eats up eats animals up to the size of antelope, occasionally even crocodiles. The snake reproduces by egg-laying. Unlike most snakes, the female will protect her nest and sometimes even her hatchlings.

The snake is widely feared even though it very rarely kills humans. Although the snake is not endangered, it does face threats from habitat reduction and hunting.

This guy would swallow any child or man if he is hungry...no bones about that...

For all those who have been crying over this python. You can read this from someone who actually should talk.

Americans will not let us hear word about Cecil the Lion that was killed recently in Zimbabwe by an American dentist The protests and noise about it is alarming to say the least. A Zimbabwean writer shared his opinion on the issue in an article with NY Times & I just had to share it! Quite interesting.
So sorry about Cecil. Did Cecil live near your place in Zimbabwe? Cecil who? I wondered. When I turned on the news and discovered that the messages were about a lion killed by an American dentist, the village boy inside me instinctively cheered: One lion fewer to menace families like mine.
My excitement was doused when I realized that the lion killer was being painted as the villain. I faced the starkest cultural contradiction I’d experienced during my five years studying in the United States. Did all those Americans signing petitions understand that lions actually kill people?
That all the talk about Cecil being “beloved” or a “local favorite” was media hype? Did Jimmy Kimmel choke up because Cecil was murdered or because he confused him with Simba from “The Lion King”? In my village in Zimbabwe, surrounded by wildlife conservation areas, no lion has ever been beloved, or granted an affectionate nickname. They are objects of terror.

When I was 9 years old, a solitary lion prowled villages near my home. After it killed a few chickens, some goats and finally a cow, we were warned to walk to school in groups and stop playing outside. My sisters no longer went alone to the river to collect water or wash dishes; my mother waited for my father and older brothers, armed with machetes, axes and spears, to escort her into the bush to collect firewood.

A week later, my mother gathered me with nine of my siblings to explain that her uncle had been attacked but escaped with nothing more than an injured leg. The lion sucked the life out of the village: No one socialized by fires at night; no one dared stroll over to a neighbor’s homestead.
When the lion was finally killed, no one cared whether its murderer was a local person or a white trophy hunter, whether it was poached or killed legally. We danced and sang about the vanquishing of the fearsome beast and our escape from serious harm.

Recently, a 14-year-old boy in a village not far from mine wasn’t so lucky. Sleeping in his family’s fields, as villagers do to protect crops from the hippos, buffalo and elephants that trample them, he was mauled by a lion and died.

The killing of Cecil hasn’t garnered much more sympathy from urban Zimbabweans, although they live with no such danger. Few have ever seen a lion, since game drives are a luxury residents of a country with an average monthly income below $150 cannot afford.

Don’t misunderstand me: For Zimbabweans, wild animals have near-mystical significance. We belong to clans, and each clan claims an animal totem as its mythological ancestor. Mine is Nzou, elephant, and by tradition, I can’t eat elephant meat; it would be akin to eating a relative’s flesh. But our respect for these animals has never kept us from hunting them or allowing them to be hunted. (I’m familiar with dangerous animals; I lost my right leg to a snakebite when I was 11.)

The American tendency to romanticize animals that have been given actual names and to jump onto a hashtag train has turned an ordinary situation — there were 800 lions legally killed over a decade by well-heeled foreigners who shelled out serious money to prove their prowess — into what seems to my Zimbabwean eyes an absurdist circus.

PETA is calling for the hunter to be hanged. Zimbabwean politicians are accusing the United States of staging Cecil’s killing as a “ploy” to make our country look bad. And Americans who can’t find Zimbabwe on a map are applauding the nation’s demand for the extradition of the dentist, unaware that a baby elephant was reportedly slaughtered for our president’s most recent birthday banquet.
We Zimbabweans are left shaking our heads, wondering why Americans care more about African animals than about African people.

Don’t tell us what to do with our animals when you allowed your own mountain lions to be hunted to near extinction in the eastern United States. Don’t bemoan the clear-cutting of our forests when you turned yours into concrete jungles.

And please, don’t offer me condolences about Cecil unless you’re also willing to offer me condolences for villagers killed or left hungry by his brethren, by political violence, or by hunger.
