PHOTO: Family Gives Six-Month-Old Girl A Snake To Play With Because They Are Too Poor To Buy Toys For Her

Sidhi Siddharth Sinune crawls behind the python
and shrieks in delight as it weaves through her
tiny legs.
While her parents are away working in the fields
in a rural Indian village in Maharashtra, the baby
girl pats the reptile and even playfully bites its tail.
The non-venomous snake could easily squeeze
Sidhi to death or swallow her whole.
But her father, Siddharth Sinune, said he cannot
afford to buy her toys – instead bringing home
his prey from his job as a snake catcher.
Before putting them back in the forests, he keeps
them at home for his only daughter’s
amusement.
Siddharth said: ‘Sidhi has an unusual bonding
with the snakes and surprisingly they too like to
play with her.
‘Being a poor farmer, I can’t buy her costly toys
but I can get her snakes to play with.
