Yes seems a much better way to get thrills than putting your life in the hands of a snake that size. I can't see how three men can stop a snake that size when after 6 ft it takes one man per three ft after six foot. That snake seems bigger than 12 ft. And you say it constricts 900pounds per square inch that seems way to strong to me

A knife or a brick through the skull will stop the snake, it shouldnt ever be necessary to take this step but for some reason the humans life (even tho he voluntarily put himself at risk) is "worth more" than the snakes

Lol we'll obviously a knife or a weapon like that would work but I wasn't thinking about killing it.

snakes are very strong, but are somewhat lacking in limbs and intelligence. 3 guys could get that snake off pretty quick if required.

He would almost certainly have wished he had posed with a kitten instead, but death would be very unlikely.

As for eating him......no.

You have no idea how strong a snake that size is, then, do you?

If you say so.

You clearly have no idea how to remove a snake quickly.

Snakes muscles are very good at some things and working in specific directions, go against that and its much easier. Also factoring in that killing the snake would be very simple and quick, death is increadibly unlikely.

Bit like a Crocs jaws in some respects, you do not want you hand in there when they shut their jaws, but you can easily hold them shut with bare hands. The muscles for opening the jaw are tiny in comparision to those used for closing them, for obvious reasons.

The snake may not be able to eat him, but it would suffocate him before 2 people can pull it off. Giant constrictors like that squeeze with extreme, bone-breaking force.

Anyway

Let's talk about something more recent....

it would break a few ribs prossibly, leave him a bit battered and bruised for sure, its not an experience you would want, but death would still be very unlikely.

You have no idea how about a snake's musculature then, do you?

Just as bladeblaster said the snake can easily be taken off. All you do is grab the neck or base of the tail, the snake's muscles aren't as strong there and you can unwrap the snake from that spot.

it was i who mentioned 900 pounds per square inch constriction force on another thread mate

it was an anaconda they tested,using a live turkey with pressure guages attatched to the turkey

the anaconda in question,constricted at 900 pounds per square inch for a full 15 minutes

the guys doing the test said it would be like a school bus wieght pressing on every square inch of your chest

sorry i cannot remeber which tv documentry i saw it on,one of the sky discovery type channels

cheers shaun

Out of curiosity, what is it about unwrapping a snake by the tail first that makes it easier?
