Police in Upper Macungie Township, Pennsylvania said an officer shot a man's pet snake after it wrapped itself around his neck and would not let go.
Police said they asked the dispatcher to repeat the call because it was so unusual. Nickischer said the snake did not die right away.
"It wasn't like it just died. It started to slither away, luckily away from the officers, away from the direction that they were trying to pull this gentleman." Lt. Nickischer said. "They realized it was a matter of life and death with seconds to make that decision. Praise the officers. They did what they had to do. It was a safe shoot."

Wonder what would have happened if they tazered the thing?
Either the snake would have planked, or constricted. Option 2 not good for snake wearer.

I have a former co-worker who raises exotic looking snakes and he posts them on Facebook. He’s not a dumb guy but on this matter I think he’s an idiot. Eff snakes and not to be trusted as pets.

I had a next door neighbor who had a 14' anaconda that he'd take out and wrap around his body to carry around. One day the snake decided he was food and started constricting him. He was about 6'5" and a former college football player, all muscled up and strong as a bull. He said it took every ounce of strength he had to get the snake off of him.
Snakes brains do basically mammal brain stem functions and little more. They don't recognize owners, friends, etc. You're either food, not food, a threat or not a threat. That's about as deep as they think. That day the snake decided my neighbor was food and he almost was.

Somewhere in Grand Prairie, Texas, an adult cobra is still on the loose.

Probably better off, with the many Nigerian princes, phish mail, virus email, and party photos of events I chose to avoid...

TASER?
Do you think the serpent would contract with the electric pulse?

Since it was an Email Snake why didn’t the spam filter catch it?

Oh.
That would explain it.
I thought the Spam would eat the email snake.
Boy is my face red.
