Sleeping Soundly With a Teddy-SNAKE?

Published by Brian Yalung November 30th, 2007 in How to sleep better, SLEEP News.

We all know that most people, especially the children, just cannot sleep soundly without something to cuddle or hug when they are in bed. But for this kid, he cannot sleep without the presence of a large python by his side.

Whoa, now that is something different. We all know that snakes are not the safest of animals to have as pets, more so to have them by your side when you are sleeping!

But if there is one thing that is a sign of good for this child, he may be holding such a prestige for now. That is unless the python has a change of heart and attacks.
