The fear of his life. A 5-year-old Australian man survived after being bitten, squeezed and trained in a swimming pool by a python as long as a small car, said his father to the press this Friday. Little Beau was playing by the side of a swimming pool. Byron Bay when a three meter long python attacked it. from the neighboring vegetation, told his father, Ben Blake, at NineRadio. “I believe the python was waiting for a victim, a bird or something, and it was Beautiful.”
The python bit the child, made it fall with it into the water and rolled up. around one leg. The boy’s grandfather, aged 76 years old, came to the rescue, diving into the pool to get it out of the water, the snake still coiled up. Ben Blake then detached python and tried to calm the situation. “I’s not a little boy, I freed him’ in 15 & 20 seconds,” he said.

Although the pythons are not poisonous, the five-year-old is being treated. to prevent its bite from becoming infected.
