6 Year Old Boy Goes To Bed Everyday With His Best Friend: A Python Snake

Snake boy Sambath Uon and his best pal Lucky

The struggle to find that perfect pet for their child can send some mothers and fathers loopy.

Luckily for the parents of six-year- old Sambath Uon, his best friend slithered right into his lap.

The boy refuses to go to bed without the 6m (20ft) Burmese python named Lucky.

'I love the python like my sister,' said Sambath. 'All my friends are jealous of her.'

When Lucky first slunk into the Cambodian village, she was 50cm (20in) long and Sambath was just three months old.

His parents tried to return it to the forest three times but she kept coming back.

Sambath's mother, Kim Kanara, said: 'We would find it asleep next to Sambath. They have slept together every night for the past six years.

'She is a member of the family now. We shelter, feed, bathe and even pray to her.' Lucky, or Chomreun in Khmer, is thought to have healing powers.

Mrs Kanara added: 'Some recovered from sickness after being blessed by her.'

I was gonna get my son a goldfish bowl, but now that I have seen this story, I think it would be more heartfelt if I bought him a Great White Shark to snuggle with whenever he felt like taking a dip in the pool... So lovely smile

Love The Snake;)

| 18 Dec 2007 - 11:01

IT's all very simple guys, the snake simply waits untill the kido is all fatty and stuff before it makes the kill :) sort of like when farmers wait untill pigs are really big and fat and all :).

Common Fart | 5 Dec 2007 - 08:51

OK for all of u it wont hurt him cus he and the snake have been 2geather 4ever

curious | 4 Dec 2007 - 08:53

I am curious about the nature of the relationship. Snakes don't make it a habbit to have "friends". They are mostly solidary animals, pythons as such are supposed to be. It also shows that there is much more to nature, specialy reptiliens, we do not understand. So what does she thinks...food or friend?

Nou | 3 Dec 2007 - 04:49

Lul, Praying to it, Loopy people. I doubt the snake would eat it as they have been sleeping together for 6 years...

Ohhh, Let us pray to lucky:

"Heal me ohh mighty snake,
Heal me,
And the ribs you crushed as you constricted my chest,
Heal me Ohh Mighty Lucky."

no cant say.. if something is used to the snake.. it wont get the tendency to eat it..this is a question of boy bravery that how he was able to do it.

justWait | 29 Nov 2007 - 01:05

This snake will smother/attempt to eat this child. You cannot undo millions of years of evolution. This is a disaster waiting to happen.
