Children who found a giant python about 6 meters long in the garden of a house in Indonesia began using the snake as a slide, disregarding the deadly danger. While one of the children slid down by sitting on the python's body, the others played on the giant snake. It was noteworthy that the adults nearby recorded those moments with their mobile phones instead of intervening.
In footage recorded in the West Java region of Indonesia, a giant python found in a house's garden was seen being turned into a plaything by children. The children, gathered around the snake lying on the dirt ground, began playing without regard for whether the animal was dangerous.
THEY TURNED A 6-METER GIANT PYTHON INTO A SLIDE
In the footage, one of the children was seen sitting on the python's body and sliding down the sloping terrain, while the other children walked around the snake and joined the game. It was noted that the giant snake, said to be about 6 meters long, remained largely motionless even though the children climbed on it and moved on its body.
INSTEAD OF INTERVENING, THEY FILMED IT
What made the children's dangerous game even more astonishing was the attitude of the adults nearby. In the footage, the adults were seen recording what was happening with their mobile phones instead of pulling the children away from the snake. In reports reflected in the international press, it was stated that the python the children used as a slide was known by the name "Abo."
NOT VENOMOUS, BUT IT CAN BE DEADLY
The snake the children were playing on is considered to be a reticulated python, one of the longest snake species in the world. This non-venomous species wraps its prey with powerful muscles, blocking blood circulation and incapacitating it. Pythons, whose adult individuals can exceed 6 meters, possess enough power to seriously harm humans as well. Experts state that the animal remaining motionless does not mean it is safe, and that especially children's contact with snakes of this size can have fatal consequences.
