Escaped boa kills 2 kids in New Brunswick.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/story/2013/08/05/nb-two-die-boa-attack.html

I know the owner of the zoo and I know the mother of the children. This is fucking terrible. Nothing yet on how the snake escaped but apparently they were sleeping and the boa got into the apartment and killed the children.

but everything seems to say it was a boa. There are conflicting reports, saying 2 boys, saying a girl and a boy, but she had 2 boys from what I recall. I don't know much more than that..
