I was showing my brother the snake videos on here and he told me something very interesting indeed.....

His gf's best friend used to keep a python and apparently it used to sleep at the bottom of her bed, curled up. She used to feed it and look after it. Then she noticed that at night the python would sleep right next to her in a straight position (basically mimicking her posture). Apparently she thought this was strange but didn't think anything more of it.

However she realised that it hadn't eaten for a while and no matter how much she tried to feed it, it wouldn't eat. So she took it to the vets and mentioned that it wasn't eaten and also mentioned how it was sleeping....

Now this part shocked me (am no snake expert).....apparently the python was 'sizeing her up.' Thats why it was mimicking her sleeping posture....and thats why it wasn't eating. Basically it was preparing to eat her. Scary shit is that.

Now i don't know this girl so my question to Legion is 'is she likely to be telling the truth?' and 'is this behaviour normal from a python?'
