“It’d be like getting struck by lightning twice in one day,” said Matt Korhonen, general curator at Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo.

“The fact that this snake escaped ... and killed two kids is very much a freak accident.”

James Bogart, a retired professor and reptile specialist at the University of Guelph in Ontario, said it doesn’t make sense to him that the snake would strangle the two boys and then leave their bodies alone.

“They’re not malicious creatures — they go after things for food,” Bogart said.

“It just doesn’t make sense to me that it would actually strangle two boys and leave them. I’m not sure why it would kill one and then kill the other one. It really doesn’t make sense.”
