The youngster was bitten, constricted and dragged into the swimming pool by the monster snake
A five-year-old boy was rescued from the jaws of a 10ft python by his horrified dad as it tried to swallow him whole. Little Beau Blake was playing next to the pool at his home in Byron Bay, New South Wales, Australia when the waiting reptile struck.
In a dramatic rescue effort, Beau was pulled from the pool by his 76-year-old grandfather Allan before dad Ben grappled with the snake and managed to prise it off his leg. "I saw a big black shadow come out of the bush and before they hit the bottom, it was completely wrapped around his leg... The parent described the incident as quite "an ordeal", but said his son is an "absolute trooper" and back in good spirits following the snake attack.
