Woman Bites Snake’s Head Off

Freakish things and people are plentiful--all over the world.

A Florida woman’s been arrested for allegedly biting the head off a friend’s pet python. Wheelchair-user Cynthia Christensen, of Spring Hill, was with a group of friends when the incident happened.

The 46-year-old asked her friend if she could hold the python, and then told the group she was going to bite its head off.

When the snake’s owner turned around moments later, she saw the reptile dangling from Christensen’s hand with its head missing, reports the St. Petersburg Times.

While she didn’t see the incident, her boyfriend who was watching from a nearby house, told police he saw Christensen bite the snake. She told officers the snake had bitten her but then changed her story to say a dog had attacked it.

Christensen has been charged with cruelty to animals. If convicted she faces being fined and jailed for as long as five years.
