They swallow you AFTER they constrict you. Kind of like being in a car crusher aftergetting whacked by the Paisanos. Except you’re not dead when you go into the crusher.

The upside is you do escape. As python poop.

Actually I believe that all snakes wee-wee but instead of pooping they barf.

If they swallow you whole it might not be that bad - at least not as bad as if they chewed you up. You’d at least have a chance of escaping.

Hmm. not entirely true. You would be mashed and kneaded like bread dough, THEN devoured.

Not much of a chance IMHO...

Looks like a candidate for the $50,000 Roosevelt Prize ie: any snake caught alive over 30 ft.

The capture of five African rock pythons near an Everglades already teeming with the gentler Burmese pythons has experts worried about "hybrid vigor" -- a phenomenon that occurs when interbreeding uncorks volatile recessive genes, passing traits such as aggression onto the offspring

Caption for the Picture: the snake says “Hey y’all; watch me make like a tree and leave!”

Note to self: “If you have to enter the Everglades, pack a couple of shotguns loaded with #4 buckshot for close encounters.”

Actually, I think that might be able to stop a hybrid right through the radiator...
