There have been no human deaths from wild-living Burmese pythons in Florida. And while python attacks on humans are unlikely, they're not impossible.

There have been no human deaths from wild-living Burmese pythons in Florida. And while python attacks on humans are unlikely, they're not impossible.

A Thai man is recovering from a bloody encounter with a 10-feet-long python that slithered through the plumbing of his home and latched its jaws onto his penis as he was using a squat toilet.

"The snake probably was a pet that got too large to keep and too expensive to feed," Sheriff Lee Foster told Newsweek.

Burmese pythons can pose a threat to human safety. Attacks on humans are improbable but possible in any locality where the animals and people are present.
