The reticulated python is the largest and most dangerous of the giant constrictors - documented to swallow humans whole. But people still keep them as exotic pets. Frank has raised Buffy from a hatchling. She measures over twenty-four-feet and more than three-hundred pounds. She is Frank's pride-and-joy. She is also his secret - a black-market purchase, kept illegally - unbeknownst to his neighbors, who might fear for their pets... or their kids. Especially, if they knew Buffy sometimes escapes her cage. A python wraps in less than a second - its coils kill in seven minutes. Then it swallows you whole. And you never see it coming until it's too late.
