==Awww...==
Awww... I was hoping to write this article! :-) [[User:Flcelloguy|Flcelloguy]] | [[User talk:Flcelloguy|A note? ]]| [[User:Flcelloguy/Desk|Desk]] | [[Wikipedia:Signpost|W]][[Wikipedia:Signpost|S]] 14:21, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
:The beauty of the speed of Wikipedia and its ability to report the explosion of any animal. [[User:Violetriga|violet/riga]] [[User_talk:violetriga|(t)]] 08:52, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
::Um what kind of confirmation exists for this kind of event taking place? [[User:207.99.90.253|207.99.90.253]] 12:29, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

== Split ==

Really, rather than exploded.... ''[[User:Rich Farmbrough|Rich ]] [[User talk:Rich Farmbrough| Farmbrough]]'' 15:27, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

I concur, this was not an expolsion, the snake just ripped open. [[User:206.11.112.251|206.11.112.251]] 18:56, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
:I also agree, it burst or split raher than exploded. [[User:A Max J|A Max J]] 11:40, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

==Merger==
*'''MERGE''' - This minor anecdote deserves "at best" a paragraph under the [[Python]] article. [[User:SirIsaacBrock|SirIsaacBrock]] 17:29, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
:I disagree - it doesn't belong there, and is best left here. [[user:violetriga|violet/riga]] [[User_talk:violetriga|(t)]] 20:21, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
:I also disagree. This is an article on its own. [[User:A Max J|A Max J]] 11:38, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
:'''Comment''': The snake did not explode the tail of the gator pierced from the inside the Python's skin, there was no explosion. This is a fabrication. [[User:SirIsaacBrock|SirIsaacBrock]] 01:50, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
::It was reported (see the external links) as "exploding", and it fits with the exploding animals theme. [[user:violetriga|violet/riga]] [[User_talk:violetriga|(t)]] 10:10, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

==Current Events?==
*I suppose that this could be current events (note third paragraph). Does anyone agree? [[User:A Max J|A Max J]] 11:38, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

== AfD ==
This article should be AfD's, Wikipedia is not a newspaper and this was a one-time, non-notable event. [[User:Vpoko|Vpoko]] 19:23, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

:I disagree; although it was a one-time event (at least as of this writing), it continues to be one of those [[internet meme]]s that I think is worthwhile to have the basic facts about on Wikipedia. For example, the news article in [http://www.boingboing.net/2006/09/08/python_eats_sheep.html this] [[Boing Boing]] post of September 2006 refers to the incident.

:That said, this article goes beyond the basic facts, and could possibly use a trim (e.g. the information about the 'python epidemic').--[[User:BlackAndy|BlackAndy]] 00:34, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

== Still Worth Keeping? ==

It's been two and a half years now, the incident doesn't appear to have been repeated, and the internet meme seems to have died down a lot. Does this really need its own article anymore?[[User:Ricree101|Ricree101]] ([[User talk:Ricree101|talk]]) 21:55, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
