Police investigators believe a 25-year-old woman was strangled Tuesday by a 13-foot tiger python she kept as a pet.
According to police, the woman's husband came home about 11:30 p.m. to find his wife lying in a bedroom in their home in the 5200 block of Maracas Arch. The snake's cage was open.
The woman, identified as Amanda Ruth Black, was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. Preliminary information from the medical examiner's office indicates the woman died of asphyxiation.
According to police, she was trying to give the snake medication when the incident happened.
It took two animal control officers to catch and restrain the snake, which was found in the bedroom, police said. It is now at the Virginia Beach Bureau of Animal Control.
The case remains under investigation.

The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of 'liberalism' they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.
