Sorry for loss!!!!!
I had a common pleco do the same thing.. He made it--I found him in time. Good thing I still use the 5 gallon bucket method.

Had that happen a little while ago, except it was a bala shark, he made it all the way up the tube to the shut off valve. I was able to reverse the flow and push him back out. After swimming funny for a while he is back to normal. He is now fondly named "Lucky". lol

That sucks man, I had that happen with a lungfish that was the diameter of the tube. Fortunately it was fine...

I leave my python unattended all the time... Was yours hooked to a faucet or was gravity pulling the water out? I usually use gravity as to not waste tap water and i think the suction is less...

It was a gravity fed siphon. I never have hooked a python up to a faucet, just wastes water

Wow and that was still enough suction??? I think I should re-evaluate how i do my water changes.
