STRAUBING, Germany - German cops looking for a missing man were shocked to find him dead in his home
surrounded by over FORTY giant snakes.
Many of the reptiles, including a 30ft anaconda and four 35ft pythons, were
slithering free around the decomposing body when police entered snake fan
Heiko Rieder's apartment in Straubing, Germany.
A fire service spokesman said: "At least one was as thick as a human
thigh."
Neighbors said they were surprised his pets had not started to devour their owner.
But experts said his large frame meant his body was too wide to be swallowed whole.
"They like to eat their prey whole and the average European is too long and too wide for that," said Markus Baur, boss of the animals' new reptile home in Munich.
