The reticulated python is the largest and most dangerous of the giant constrictors – documented to swallow humans whole.
But people still keep them as exotic pets.
Frank has raised Buffy from a hatchling. She measures over twenty-four-feet and more than three-hundred pounds. She is Frank’s pride-and-joy.
She is also his secret – a black-market purchase, kept illegally – unbeknownst to his neighbors, who might fear for their pets… or their kids.
Especially, if they knew Buffy sometimes escapes her cage.
A python wraps in less than a second – its coils kill in seven minutes.
Then it swallows you whole.
And you never see it coming until it’s too late.
