Burmese pythons are of the most aggressive of constrictor snakes, but that hasn’t slowed people down from adopting them. There are dozens of python-on-owner attacks reported annually, and this species is responsible for the most injuries and deaths of them. As a result of this, owners of these reptiles should always know to use extreme caution when handling them.

Nineteen-year-old Grant Williams, who did not use adequate caution or safe practices with his python, met his demise as a result of it. One afternoon in 1996, he was found in the hallway of his apartment building, dripping blood, with his 13-foot snake coiled around him tightly.

Dealing with a hungry python is a very precarious act, and certain procedures should always be used. The way Grant handled his last attempt of feeding his python was not ideal. The snake was out of its cage, and a live chicken, that Grant planned to soon feed to the python, was stashed in a box in the vicinity. Creating this situation was a deadly mistake for Grant.

Since pythons have a very acute sense of smell, family and friends of the victim believe that the hungry snake picked up the scent of the chicken, which it regularly ate, and saw the only moving target, Grant, as dinner.

Though the snake did not even get to the point of beginning to swallow its alternative dinner, Grant did not survive the unfortunate attack. Paramedics exhaustively tried to revive Williams en route to the hospital, but unfortunately did not succeed. Grant was pronounced dead an hour after the attack the nearby hospital.
