"A giant Burmese python has been babysitting a 13-year-old boy. The 15ft snake is the pet to a Chinese family, The Sun reports. Azhe Liu, from Dongguan, Guangdong province, was born six years after his dad Chan Liu brought home a python egg and hatched it. Chan explained: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;d always thought them the most beautiful creatures, and I was interested to see what would happen when my son came along.&amp;quot; Instead of being scared of the 220lb cold-blooded predator, Azhe would often cuddle up to her on hot summer days to find relief from the scorching hot weather in her cool scaly skin. Chan continued: &amp;quot;After a while we were certain the snake wouldn&amp;#039;t hurt him, and we began to leave them together alone. They really are inseparable.&amp;quot; &amp;gt; 3-year-old&amp;#039;s collection of garden eggs hatch into deadly snakes &amp;gt; Snake on a plane forces pilot to make emergency landing in Egypt After some time, the family began to think of the python of a kind of nanny figure for their son, and began leaving the pair together while they were out. Chan said of the choice of babysitter: &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t think many kidnappers would tangle with her.&amp;quot; Azhe now wants to train as a zoologist so that he can work with snakes all the time. &amp;gt; Snake holds on to plane&amp;#039;s wing during two-hour flight &amp;gt; Python hunting competition to begin in Florida "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
