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

Nice vivid reminder.

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.

without the funny voice, what the hell was that lol

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

I'll stick with BPs!

and maybe another milk snake . . .

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

my 4 foot ball can get a little tight around the neck lol but there is no way i would ever put that thing up there lol. if she really wanted too his head would be like popping a dandilions flower from the stem
