Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Could you link to an actual news site to substantiate this?

Could you not bring bias/politics into this? This thread isn't about what source you deem as "actual news," it's about the death of two boys, by snake or possibly something else.

What does confirming information as accurate and reliable have to do with politics or bias? Inaccurate info is why the media and the public hate snakes, so why wouldn't you want accurate info?

What are you on? I asked for a legitimate source not some radio stations blog.
I'm following this fairly close as I will probably be on of the first hobbiest affected by this as I live in NB and I have a business dependant on the reptile community. All I have been hear from the giant camp is stupid theories on what "actually" happened.
So far this is what they seem yo be saying. Apparently Jean-Claude killed the children with
CO, broke a hole in his ceiling and ducts the
claimed the snake he illegally owns escaped the
cage and killed the children.

Why are there so many idiots grasping at imaginary straws to make it look like the python didn't do it!?!?!?

Where's the undeniable proof that it did? I haven't seen a coroner's report yet, have you? 
It's okay to disagree with people, but to call those of us that aren't convinced it's such a cut and dried story "idiots" just ain't cool.

Are you fabricating stories of CO poisoning? Are you using Australian blogs to say it was a murder?
I like you as you seem to be a solid person so it wasn't directed at you at all and I'm sorry if you felt that way.
The RCMP have stated that it was the python that strangled the boys and they based that on the autopsy report.

I did figure it was pointed at me. I am sorry I misunderstood you. You were talking about the former employee, then?
Oh no, I don't believe it happened that way at all. But I don't think it was as easy as snake smelled prey, crawled out and killed the children. There are a whole lot of questions I'd love to see some answers to, that we'll probably never have answered. The media has had their field day, so the (to them) insignificant details will never be reported. Honestly? I'm not quite sure what I believe happened, but I do know I'm deeply saddened at the family's loss, and at what this could possibly accomplish as far as restrictions for responsible keepers.
I DO feel, that the keeper was 100% responsible for these preventable deaths.
