The department said the species was generally only permitted in accredited zoos unless there was a special permit. Steve Benteau, a spokesman for the provincial natural resources department, said no permit was issued for an African rock python and provincial authorities had not been aware it was being kept at the apartment. ![]() The pipe collapsed and the snake fell into the room. He said the snake made its way through the ventilation system and moved towards the living room, where the boys were sleeping. It escaped through a small hole in the ceiling connected to the ventilation system. Tremblay said the snake was housed in a large glass enclosure that reached the ceiling of the apartment. Tremblay said the African rock python, about 4.3 meters (14f) long and 45kg (100lb) in weight, had been kept inside the second-floor apartment, not inside the pet store as authorities had previously stated. The brothers had been visiting the apartment of a friend whose father owned an exotic pet store on the floor below, Canadian police Sergeant Alain Tremblay said at a news conference in Campbellton. Autopsies on Noah Barthe, 4, and his brother Connor Barthe, 6, were performed on Tuesday. Police are treating the deaths in Campbellton, New Brunswick, as a criminal case.
