Girl, two, killed by 8ft pet snake
Last Updated: Thursday, 02 July 2009, 20:41 GMT- Search: US snake death

An escaped 8ft Burmese python has strangled a two-year-old girl in her Florida bedroom.
Shaiunna Hare was already dead when paramedics arrived at about 10am on Wednesday, a Sheriff's Office spokesman said.
Charles Jason Darnell, the snake's owner and the boyfriend of Shaiunna's mother, discovered the snake missing from its terrarium and went to the girl's room, where he found it on the girl and bite marks on her head, Lt Bobby Caruthers said.
Darnell, 32, stabbed the snake until he was able to pry the child away.

No,i cannot imagine how the Mother feels,what a shame,feel Deeply for the family.

[lala]

It just makes me feel sick . . . imagine walking in on it . . . poor child.

[century]

I think instead of sorrow for these idiots there should be anger
Americans are to spoiled as it is

[WarlordZeroOne]

We also have people in the U.K. with all kind of exotic pets its a Dangerous waiting game, these creatures should be banned from a Family envronment.

[century]

Well how the hell did the python get out of the Aquarium in the first place
If I had a kid and a snake it would be first priority before I went to bed to check
and make sure Lucifer was locked up in his serpent house

This guys just another loser punk, he's all tatted up for attention and he's got it now

[WarlordZeroOne]

No matter how hard you try we cannot educate these stupid assholes, and as for attention,he needs a custodial sentence.

[Foxtrot Oscar]

Flatmate of mine had one of those things, hateful animal that it was.

He wanted to sell it, so he put an ad in the local rag.

Got no calls, and was getting pissy that no one would want his baby.

So I left a few numbers by the phone, 2 Chinese take aways and a specialist boot makers in London.

He gave it to an animal shelter!

Why anyone needs to have a pet of this kind is completely beyond me.

they're the real detached penises- but that's a different thread.

[pack3tg0st]

33 people were killed by dogs in the U.S. in 2007

I can't even find a statistic for exotic pets.

Should we ban Dogs too?

[boycotteverything]

of course

That is my pet ball python named illusion. Sweetest snake there is. He's very mellow, and doesn't try to eat you when he's hungry.

Now that that's said, theres something else thats needed to be said.

Why the fuck did they let their snake escape?! There's something to be learned here, and its NOT banning snakes. It's banning irresponsible pet owners from getting potentially hazardous creatures, especially if their tanks are NOT SET UP to keep a fucking 8 foot python in its fucking habitat.

Warlord: please for fucks sakes, provide links to these 'stories'.

Secondly... If you get the right snake, usually you wont have problems. Fuck off with trying to ban pets.

[Ducky]

I'm at two's and ten's with this one.

On the one hand, folks should be allowed to own certain exotic pets. By this I mean, 'the ones that do the least harm to their owners and others'.

I used to have a pet snake when I was a kid. Interesting creatures, though Garden varieties don't count lolol

What we're talking about here, is the RESPONSIBILITY of the owner to insure that their pets don't cause harm to others. Exotic pets are pretty high maintenance (save for those pesky tarantulas just sitting away in the aquarium), and therefore need special kind of care.

It's more than unfortunate what happened to the child. Downright insane :(

The word exotic to me, means one step away from being wild. Not tame - wild. Though, there have been many beautiful birds kept in captivity, raised since they were young, and have provided wonderful companionship to many.

It's the reptiles I keep an eye out for. They're notorious for 'falling back on instincts', because that's bascially all they have.

Edit to add: BTW Chi? Perdy nice snake you have there :D And you're right...if a snake isn't hungry, it won't hurt others. Some snakes in the wild will down a deer and take the whole day (unhinging it's jaws) to engulf the animal. After that it won't eat for weeks or months.

[pack3tg0st]

All animals fall back on instinct...

Actually the closest wild animal people keep as pets are Hogs... Hogs can revert back to feral in less than 1 generation...

All animals have instincts... its a given... deciding that we can control them is insane...

being careful and respecting the animal is the only fuckin' thing that's going to save this shit from happening...

Like I said... Dogs kill people too...

Don't ban any animal from being pet.

That may be true but I've never seen a dog strangle a little girl.

No...

being killed by a dog is much more drawn out and painful..

Killed in January 2009:

there's others...

A decent strangle puts ya unconscious in seconds...

A dog attack usually kills from infection or blood loss... which can be anywhere from a couple of mins to weeks after the initial attack...

I'll take the strangulation over that any day.

[Ducky]

Dogs kill people too...

Don't ban any animal from being pet.

We've banned pit bulls up here in Ontario within the last few years. It wasn't a spur of the moment choice either. The high incident rate of attacks that lead to maiming and/or fatality was the biggest concern.

Though all types of dogs have the inherent behavior to 'kill or not to kill', it has been proven that pit bulls are at the top of the category by leaps and bounds.

Face it. These brutish creatures were created by man....so to speak. They were bread that way. In many cases, the dog's brain was too small for the skull cavity and was literally squeezing on it's brain; causing nothing short of destructive behaviorial patterns.

Getting back to the OP, I want to reiterate about the RESPONSIBILITIES of owners and their exotic pets.

What happened to the child....SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED. We get a few idiots thinking that when they read up on snakes, they all of a sudden KNOW how to care for them. WRONG answer.

Pet's or not, you can't turn your back on them. The trust factor is not there, as seen with dogs, cats, etc. I beleive it's more along the lines that these exotic snakes 'tolerate' us (so long as we feed and care for them)

[boycotteverything]

Dawgs. Fuckers... I'm getting rid of mine.

Great thinking there Ms Duck.

Never turn your back on your dawg!

[Ducky]

Dawgs. Fuckers... I'm getting rid of mine.

Why would you want to do that? Good lord...you spoke so highly of your buddy. Saw the pic. beautiful creature.

No BE. Your dog is part of your family.

We're talking about exotic creatures here.

[boycotteverything]

My dawg is exotic. I'm sending the damned thing to Fox's mama-in-law parcel post. Today.

[Ima Nasshole]

What about cats? Besides psychological abuse, has there been any reported deaths by cats?

[boycotteverything]

Yes. I was killed by my cat.

[pack3tg0st]

There's no difference ducky... Animals are animals... They'll do what animals do...

Respect the animal and you're ok...

If you fail to respect the animal, you're screwed...

A buddy of mine owns a bobcat... takes it for walks on a leash and everything... friendliest thing you've ever seen...

I wouldn't taunt it... and if its pissed... I'd give it a wide berth...

[boycotteverything]

I wouldn't fuck it... and if its horny... I'd use a double rubber...Too much information, Packer.

bullshit.

i grew up on my grandparents cattle station and had a carpet python as a pet when i was 8.
we also had various poisonous snakes that a dude from the CSIRO used to come and collect every month, as well as lizards, kangaroo's, a bush turkey, a couple of emu's, dogs, geese, chooks, and an echidna.
apart from the geese, the chooks and the echidna, all of the other animals could have killed you if they wanted to.

the problem with society is that most people have no fucking idea how to handle a dog let alone a snake.

whats required with dangerous pets is responsible supervision.

[boycotteverything]

July 1, 2009: Officials remove a 12-foot long albino Burmese python from the home where it killed 2-year-old Shaunnia Hare in Oxford, Fla.
Police are expected to bring charges against the owner of a pet python that strangled a 2-year-old Florida girl in her crib, killing her.

A Sumter County Sheriffs employee, who is not authorized to speak about the case, told FOXNews.com that charges are coming but wouldn't elaborate because investigators still are working on the specifics. The charges likely won't be filed on Thursday.

Shaiunna Hare died early Wednesday morning after being attacked by the snake, which belonged to her mother's boyfriend and escaped from its aquarium, deputies said.

The little girl was killed by the 8-foot, 5-inch Burmese python as she slept after it got out of its tank in another room of the house, according to Sumter County Sheriffs Lt. Bobby Caruthers.

An autopsy released Thursday determined that the child died by asphyxiation.

The aquarium didn't have a lock as required by law, Caruthers told FOX News Thursday.

Jaren Ashley Hare, 21, and Shaiunna shared the central Florida home with Hare's boyfriend, 32-year-old Charles Jason Darnell, and his children.

Caruthers told FOX that Darnell may face charges for not having a permit for the python. Deputies say Darnell did not have the $100 permit required to own a python in Florida, which is a second-degree misdemeanor.

He also could be charged with child endangerment, child neglect or even manslaughter or homicide, according to Caruthers.

Darnell told investigators that he put the snake in a bag inside its aquarium Tuesday night. But when he woke up Wednesday morning, he said, the snake was gone. He found it wrapped around the girl in her crib.

Darnell stabbed the snake repeatedly to free the little girl, but the toddler already had been strangled. The snake also bit her on the head, the station reported.

He called 911 after he pried the python away from the child.

"The baby's dead!" a sobbing caller from the house screamed to a 911 dispatcher in tapes released by police. "Our stupid snake got out in the middle of the night and strangled the baby!"

Authorities did not identify the caller and removed the person's name from the recording.

"She got out of the cage last night and got into the baby's crib and strangled her to death," the caller says in the tape.

Paramedics said the little girl was dead when they arrived at 10 a.m. Wednesday at the house in Oxford, about 50 miles northwest of Orlando.

Two other children also were in the house at the time but were not hurt, according to WTVT.

The pet already had escaped once earlier that night, Caruthers told FOX News.

Authorities removed the snake Wednesday from the small house, bordered by cow pastures, after obtaining a search warrant. Once outside, the python was placed in a bag, which was put inside a dog crate. It was still alive.

Hare and Darnell were taken to the police station for questioning.

"They are very distraught," Caruthers told WTVT, adding that the two have been "very cooperative."


Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation spokeswoman Joy Hill said the snake will be placed with someone who has a permit, pending an investigation into the girl's death.

Hill said her department is unaware of a non-venomous snake ever before killing a human in Florida.

"This could be a first for the state," she told the station.

Burmese pythons are not native to Florida, but they easily survive in the state and can reach a length of 26 feet and weigh more than 200 pounds.

Some owners have freed pythons into the wild and a population of them has taken hold in the Everglades. One killed an alligator and then burst when it tried to eat it.

Scientists also speculate a bevy of Burmese pythons escaped in 1992 from pet shops battered by Hurricane Andrew and have been reproducing since.

"It's becoming more and more of a problem, perhaps no fault of the animal, more a fault of the human," said Jorge Pino, a state wildlife commission spokesman. "People purchase these animals when they're small. When they grow, they either can't control them or release them."

George Van Horn, owner of Reptile World Serpentarium in St. Cloud, said the strangulation could have occurred because the snake felt threatened or because it thought the child was food.

"They are always operating on instinct," he said. "Even the largest person can become overpowered by a python."
