The 'naughty' python bit the five year old, before dragging him into a swimming pool in his home.
A five-year-old Australian boy has survived being bitten, constricted and dragged into a swimming pool by a python about three times his size.
Beau Blake was enjoying a swim at home when the 3m long reptile struck, his father told a local radio station. The pair - still entangled - were pulled from the pool by Beau's elderly grandfather and the boy was prised free from the animal by his dad Ben."Once we cleaned up the blood and told him that he wasn't going to die because it wasn't a poisonous snake...
"I saw a big black shadow come out of the bush and before they hit the bottom, it was completely wrapped around his leg." With "no self-preservation whatsoever", Beau's 76-year-old grandfather Allan jumped in the pool and passed the boy and snake to Ben.Ben then held on to the python for about 10 minutes as he desperately tried to calm his children and his father, before releasing the snake back into the vegetation.Ben told the radio station pythons were a fact of life in the area, about 8 hours north of Sydney, saying "look...it is Australia".
