http://www.kptm.com/global/story.asp?s=12625572Papillion (KPTM) - A Papillion man has died after being choked by a boa constrictor. It happened just before 5 at an apartment complex in Papillion. Police say 34-year-old Corey Byrne was holding the snake and showing it to a female friend, when it wrapped around his neck. The friend called 911 and he was rushed to the hospital in critical condition. The 9 foot long, 25 pound snake was taken to the Nebraska humane society. My wife works at the Humane Society and is in the video handling the snake. Normally I'm all for people owning whatever animals they want as long as it's not a threat to themselves or other people. I totally believe a skilled, responsible individual should be allowed to own an animal of this kind. However, it's idiots like this that reinforce my belief that it'd be a good idea to restrict these animals as pets to either registered owners only or not at all.
