They have no striking distance when coiled up and it takes them a while to uncoil. The second child was not awoken by the noise? It's pretty rare for a constrictor to try to kill what it knows it can't eat. After it had killed the first boy, it's pretty unlikely it went after the next one. Something doesn't add up here.
my thoughts EXACTLY! My wife and I had this conversation yesterday.
