Makes you wonder how much truth there is behind that mans story.

Was the Royal actually constricting or just on the child, and was it actually trying to eat its foot..
Also, if you were not expecting a snake and felt it, slimy would not be the first adjective that would come to mind.. Cold or scaly would have been better, because really how many snakes are slimy lol.

I think perhaps the snake was in the cot with the child, maybe coiled over its foot or something, and the man just over reacted when he found it was a snake.

If it had been a dog near his child then he would probably have not had a problem, even though the chances of a royal killing his child were a lot lower than what a dog could do.

Fixed.

The comments are the usual knee jerk stuff, mixed in with some people in the know.

I was terrified of snakes a few weeks ago and the first one I managed I touch in years felt like silk!! Fair enough it was pretty young =p but even the older/bigger ones feel nice

"I touched something really slimy"

Well, that sure wasn't the snake. Most likely the kid's nappy was overfilled - hence the crying and the slimy stuff... and then dad disturbed the snake causing it to strike in self-defence. Poor snakey just found a warm spot.
