Constrictor

The reticulated python is the largest and most dangerous of the giant constrictors - documented to swallow humans whole.

But people still keep them as exotic pets.

Frank has raised Buffy from a hatchling. She measures over twenty-four-feet and more than three-hundred pounds. She is Frank’s pride-and-joy.

She is also his secret - a black-market purchase, kept illegally - unbeknownst to his neighbors, who might fear for their pets... or their kids.

Especially, if they knew Buffy sometimes escapes her cage.

A python wraps in less than a second - its coils kill in seven minutes.

Then it swallows you whole.

And you never see it coming until it’s too late.
