Hardly surprising it died the way they were treating it!

I hope they took better care of the eggs it laid before it died.

That's a bit sad really. Like the one they caught in Leisure Farm last year after eating a small pet dog.... 5m long, photos of the guards hacking it to death on facebook.

Hope its baby is ok.....

I heard the Kardashian family bought the python...shoes, belts, handbags for all.... and maybe a snake-skin bikini for Bruce (alias Caitlin)....:thumbdown:

According to an article in The Star did the snake lay one egg before it died. And that both the snake and the egg have been cremated.

Cremated!
One would think that having found the longest recorded python ever, they would at least have stuffed it and put it in a museum, and not just burnt it. What a wasted opportunity.

The snake died on Sunday, a day after it laid an egg, slightly bigger than a ping pong ball. It is believed that the snake was carrying more eggs.
I don't know nor care much for reptiles, equally for fish except for eating.... but I do have an enquiring mind.

I recall that salmon lay eggs and die...and so did the python.

Conclusion....the python must have had salmonella...QED...:nod:
