Mom Finds Snake Coiled On Baby's Leg In Crib

(AP) A Long Island animal shelter is a temporary home for a 1-foot-long snake that a mother found coiled on her 7-month-old daughter's leg as the baby slept in a crib.

Cari Abatemarco of upstate Troy says she was visiting family in Brentwood last week when her baby's cries woke her one night. She tells Newsday that she found a snake wrapped around her daughter's leg.

I saw that on GMA. That is sooooo scary:( The little girl was precious!
 
I am very afraid of snakes. I would have had a heart attack. I also would have killed everyone in the house with my screams! :eek:
 
I hate snakes so BAD. Even if I see a grass snake im runnin the other way.
 
I would have ran screaming from the house:eek: I hate snakes. I wonder where this snake came from they said it must of been a pet.
 
I don't think a snake that small had the baby in mind for a meal, just a roost.
King snakes are very useful predators and I'm glad that mother had the courage to remove it and present it intact to authorities. I don't think I would have been that calm in that circumstance even though I do like and appreciate snakes. I wonder what else was in that room that attracted the snake in the first place, like a rat or mouse.
 
i read that and thought... holy crap!
i would have peed myself!
i bet the snake was just trying to get warm
 
I would have had a heart attack. I saw the mom and the snake on the news this morning, and if I saw that thing wrapped around my child, I hope I would be able to react quickly in a responsible manner. I cannot handle snakes. Snakes are #1 on my list of unacceptable pets for Mr. Masterj to give to our future children.
 
I read somewhere recently that people get snakes for pets and then when they move they just let them go...anywhere! I hate snakes. I live in the mountains and we have them up here in the road a lot. So far, nothing in the house!! YIKES.
 
I would flip out if I saw that :eek: I can handle touching them when I know they are there but not around my baby.
