Below is a link to a vid I found demonstrating what can happen to even experienced snake handlers if they lose focus.

That is why no snake should ever be around someone's neck.
That's another reason why no snake over 8-10 feet should ever be handled alone.

No Mykee, I think it also means that noone should handle a 8 - 10 foot snake with a really stupid director.

That's another reason I won't have a snake that gets that big.

If that snake actually applied anywhere NEAR the pressure it is capable of buddies eyes would having been bugging out of his head as it bounced off the ground as he went down. Something most folks fail to realize is more often than not when a Boid is just hanging on tightly (& they do hang on tight sometimes) & then senses how uncomfortable the person is becoming, it sets off a food response. When that happens the "squeeze factor" goes from around a 2-3 to a 10 in about 1 second. People that allow snakes around their necks like that are idiots IMHO & deserve to be choked out. Mark
