 * The beauty of the speed of Wikipedia and its ability to report the explosion of any animal. violet/riga (t) 08:52, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Um what kind of confirmation exists for this kind of event taking place? 207.99.90.253 12:29, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Split
Really, rather than exploded.... Rich  Farmbrough 15:27, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

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

Merger

 * MERGE - This minor anecdote deserves "at best" a paragraph under the Python article. SirIsaacBrock 17:29, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I disagree - it doesn't belong there, and is best left here. violet/riga (t) 20:21, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I also disagree. This is an article on its own. 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. SirIsaacBrock 01:50, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
 * It was reported (see the external links) as "exploding", and it fits with the exploding animals theme. violet/riga (t) 10:10, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Current Events?

 * I suppose that this could be current events (note third paragraph). Does anyone agree? 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. 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 memes that I think is worthwhile to have the basic facts about on Wikipedia. For example, the news article in 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').--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?Ricree101 (talk) 21:55, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
