Just saw a thing on cable the other day about reticulated pythons.It showed the host being squeezed by one and he just barely was able to extricate himself (or so it appeared...I suppose the scene could have been staged).

That snake didn't look particularly friendly.

I can't for the life of me figure out why people call these things "pets". They aren't pets, pets can show affection back at you. Those things just see a 2 legged pig that might be just too big to swallow when you walk in the room.

Snakes are just a muscle with a spine and an attitude.

My husband used to keep snakes, and picks up almost every one he sees.

A 4 foot long rat snake gave him problems when it decided IT had caught him, and firmly wrapped itself around his forearm. Hubby spent the next half hour extracting himself from it.

Being caught around the neck by a reptile who feeds itself in that manner has GOT to be a terrifying was to go.
