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.
No, you're not the only one.
The snake got out of it's cage in the basement or first floor. It then climbed behind the wall via the ductwork to the attic and crashed through the ceiling. Both boys didn't hear that?
Their friend was in the next room. The snakes owner was on the same floor as well.
Nobody heard anything?
I don't know much about snakes but doesn't the snake bite its prey before constricting?
