Sisterly snake love
A Cambodian boy sleeps with his pet snake every night.
Sambath Uon, six, fell in love with 20 ft Burmese python Lucky when she first arrived in the village and was only 20 inches long, and now refuses to go to bed alone.
He said: "I love the python like my sister. All my friends are jealous of her." Despite Sambath’s parents attempting to return Lucky to a nearby forest three times, she kept coming back, and locals now believe the reptile has healing powers.
Sambath’s mother, Kim Kanara, said: "She is a member of the family now. We shelter, feed, bathe and even pray to her. Some people have recovered from sickness after being blessed by her."
