The Toddler Who Rides a Python
Jamal Amwasi of Ramallah, a 35-year-old Palestinian civil servant, is the owner of more than a dozen snakes, including several large pythons, all of which live in a shed a few metres from his home in the occupied West Bank. In addition to collecting local snakes, he has imported the Burmese pythons from a trader in Israel. Mr Amwasi used to own around 20 venomous snakes but got rid of them for fear that they might bite one of his children or a neighbour. He says he turned them loose in a remote area far from the city. At home, his children enjoy the pet pythons. Ibrahim, 13, is responsible for feeding the three-metre snakes when his father is away. Two-year-old Natalie used to be afraid, but now she kisses them and rides on their backs as they slither down the road in front of her house. He raises chickens, ducks and rabbits in order to ensure a constant food supply for his pets, and says he fed a lamb to one of the pythons two weeks ago. The lamb, he admits, was hardly bigger than Natalie, but he brushes aside concerns about her safety.
