Re: How does a constrictor know when to let go?

Every time the prey ties to take a breath the snake will squeeze tighter making it harder for the prey to breathe in . Eventually they can no longer take in air and suffocate. Once the prey has completely relaxed the snake knows they are dead and let go . I am sure there is more details to it but that is the gist of it.
