“Disengaging” is the issue.
Recurved teeth prevent them from “immediately letting go” even if they desperately want to.
I would ~hope~ it would cause them to cease constricting fast enough to save the pet but I really don’t know.
Thankfully, I’ve never had to face this situation and in spite of having an insanely secure yard, my dogs are not allowed out unless I am there to watch over them.
Stuff happens and if my dogs came back inside in lame, sick or whatever, I’d want to know precisely *why* they did so to easier facilitate vet effective treatment.
I live in a Copperhead/Rattler area but they stay up on the ridges.
Hopefully, they always will.

Get a male outdoor cat and feed him just enough to keep him around. Cats lower the rodent population and occasionally get a snake too.
