Even the non-venomous snakes are dangerous. There was a two year old child killed by a Burmese python in 2009 just up the road from The Villages in Oxford.

The druggie parents of the child did not secure the top to the snake's enclosure and the snake strangled and partially ate the child. The parents are both serving prison time for manslaughter.
