He said he considered the two boys "like they're my kids." I turned the lights on and I (saw) this horrific scene." "I thought they were sleeping until I (saw) the hole in the ceiling. Store owner Jean-Claude Savoie told Global News he discovered the grisly scene in the living room, which the python entered through a hole in the ceiling. The python, the only large snake in the store, was captured and turned over to police. It apparently traveled through the ventilation system and crushed the boys as they slept. Rogers-Marsh said it was not yet clear how the non-venomous snake escaped. They were believed to be brothers who were on a sleepover at the owner's apartment, according to the National Post. The unidentified boys were 5 and 7 years old, the RCMP said. Initial reports incorrectly stated it was a boa constrictor. Police were notified about 6:30 a.m.Ī former employee of Reptile Ocean told the National Post that the snake was an African rock python between 14 and 16 feet long. "The preliminary investigation has led police to believe that a python snake escaped its enclosure in the store sometime overnight," said Constable Julie Rogers-Marsh, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. Two young boys sleeping at their friend's home above an exotic pet store were strangled by a python that escaped its enclosure in the Canadian town of Campbellton, New Brunswick, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said Monday.
