Re: Snakes around the neck?
People ask why you don't keep snakes around the neck... its kinda like this... I need to get me one of these! - Imgur
It sure looks like fun, but you probably shouldn't do it.

Did you miss the part where the real danger isn't asphyxiation but cutting off blood flow and ultimately oxygen to the brain?

Re: Snakes around the neck?
Having that retic around you is more like flying on a plane. Your life is in the hands of the piolot. Even if he knew what he was doing I still think he is mad. Steve Irvin was experienced with animals yet he let his guard down once and it was game over.

I agree. even a pet dog is unpredictable. At the end of the day any animal or reptile could turn and these are very large predictors

In that case the person doing it was A) doing it wrong or B) it was in a fight situation where the person being "choked" was high on adrena
Ine and k ew it was coming, anyone who knows their mma can put someone out who is inexperienced in less than three seconds.

No reptile is truely domesticated. That topic would make another good thread.
Anyway pressure point are not what puts a person out in a choke hold. It it the constriction of blood vessles to the brain that causes the person to pass out. I also know that it takes much more pressure to cause this to happen than any ball pyhon can dish out. That is for sure.
I must have been crazy when I took this shot. LOL

^^^^^
well the guy doing the chocking was NOT doing it correctly mate,unless your talking about a winpipe choke (takes a little longer)
i taught Judo for years and had people unconcious,within 5 seconds everytime using a cartoid arterial choke,it instantly stops the oxygen supply to the brain,no matter how big or strong the guy was,go get a friend to apply pressure at the same time,to both the large veins that run down both sides of your neck,if done correctly your head and eye sight will begin to go fuzzy within 3 to 5 seconds,followed a few seconds later with unconciousness 
cheers shaun
P.S. Gregg as far as i know...
the only cases of pet snakes killing their owners come from the USA,that not tell you something mate 
great pic by the way,i would love a pair of those Albino's off you mate

Re: Snakes around the neck?
I drape my lil BP over my shoulders and such sometimes, but never coiled around my neck. And he usually doesnt try. (though he does have a fascination with my boobs and my hair. perv. lol) I'm rather small, so I'm sure if he wanted to, he could at least make me a little uncomfortable, if not lightheaded.

Re: Snakes around the neck?
Not that I support or even want to acknowledge the HSUS right now with the stuff going on with HR511 - BUT, if you really want to know the death reports by constrictors check here:
http://www.humanesociety.org/assets/...ke-attacks.pdf
Most as you'll see are from Feeding Errors, but many instances are constrictions. They are "tame" to us only when they want to be. Any moment of fear can cause a reaction that could end your life if you're in the wrong situation with one.

He usually just curls his tail around the sleeve of my shirt to hold on.

I call BS on alot of those instances. They appear to be overhyped for sensationalism. About half of them are handler mistakes due to feeding or spooking the animal when going into it's home. Or it could have been a highly defensive animal, maybe wild caught, to begin with. There are reasons why we're supposed to use hooks, etc and know how to read our animals.
A couple appear to be overly exaggerated like the man who was dragged into the bushes by a large snake.
Show me the statistics of dog bites, specific breeds as well. Show me statistics of people getting trampled by their lives stock, thrown from their horses, and severely hurt by fowl.
Show me statistics of people being beaten and killed by other humans. Make those statistics specific, like being hit by a bus, or being thrown from a 4-wheeler. Show me statistics of people who are accidentally shot or hurt when hunting.
Statistics, no matter how unbiased, can always be one sided and are often void of complete and unbiased facts.
For example: if you were to buy a certain year, model, and type of car, you begin to notice more of them being driven...even to a specific color. Maybe you also begin to notice all the factory recalls, or how many maintenance or performance issues that specific vehicle has. What about all the wrecks and damages that specific vehicles has? Regardless of the statistics for that specific vehicle, it's of interest to you because you notice it and look for the information. Then compare them to a few others. But when you compare all those statistics and information with all other cars, that info may be very small when compared to all others individually.
Statistics are geared toward you seeing only what the writer wants you to see. Try comparing those instances to the several thousand keepers who successfully keep snakes. Or even other animals and wildlife.
