Re: Snakes around the neck?
I personally feel that it shouldn't be recommended to put a large snake around the neck but if you've worked with the snake and trust it as safe to do so then why not? You're not hurting anyone but yourself if the snake were to constrict.

Experienced keepers taking the risk isnt the problem, the problem is inexperienced keepers seein the pictures and not realising the risk.
If an experienced keepers should get into trouble and get hurt or even killed then that is there own fault, if a newbie gets hurt or killed it is our responsibility as hobbiests for presenting bad form as safe.

Re: Snakes around the neck?
[QUOTE=CMRetics;798327]No, just the fact that I honestly don't care about you nor your opinion of me. It's meaningless for me, why go out of my way for someone who is so ignorant and set on their ignorance? Using 0 facts and a track record of 0 snakes hurting people on accident to back up their case. Seems like a waste of time, but I'm bored tonight so why not I'll bite.[QUOTE
FINALLY!
LOL!
i feel the exact same way wjhen it comes to that guy.

Re: boas around your neck
This is one of the most debated topics on this forum. Whatever happens, if you are handling a large snake, make sure you never handle the snake alone. Always have a spotter in the room.

Re: boas around your neck
I never allow a snake to completely circle my neck..
I am one of those who do it every once in awhile, as I drape the snake, and allow the tail to wrap around one arm. This way the snake feels stabilized and I do not feel in any danger of being choked.

Re: boas around your neck
You can NEVER let a snake with great strength wrap fully around your neck, all you need to do is spook it in some way and things will go bad. However, you can have it partially on your neck if there are people around you and use one arm to guide it. Hard to explain, but take a look at the thread linked from the first poster, I'm sure there are pictures there.

Re: Snakes around the neck?
i think on this subject comment sense is all you need, i let my two foot BPs around my neck but only the tails in the front and i wear certain collars that make it so when they squeeze the pressure distributes out more. but i would never allow a 8ft snake fully around my neck i like breathing to much and am more finicky then most after i drowned when younger.
