17ft Jampea Retic

I don't care who is doing it.. Placing a large snake around your "shoulders" is stupid. 99% of those pictures the snake is clearly on their necks just not all the way around.

See? both are the same to me and that's why I wanted a definition. Kyle with all due respect to you, I was not satisfied with the definition you provided. I was looking for a list of reasons why they're different, not a semantic exercise with pictures that I could not distinguish between one or the other.

It is my belief that regardless if a dozen people are watching one person with a snake it's going to take longer for them to get to you then it will for that snake to twitch and for you to pass out.

3 minutes is all it takes for damage to occur in the brain once oxygen flow stops I would wager it would take them longer then that to get the snake off of your neck. I don't want to turn this into another snake around the neck thread and Wayne or Alessia you may move this post if you want to.

Sorry, I should have been clearer then. No disrespect taken.

I'm well aware of the risks, as are everyone in these pictures holding these animals. The occurance of that though is exceedingly rare, I have never heard a first hand account of it happening. That's not to say we should be taking risks, but the risk is being largely blown out of proportion here.

That's why I asked. We already have one of these threads, and I have stayed out of it because I feel its being blown out of proportion. I shared these pictures to show an exceptional animal that displays an exception to the typical size of Jampea locality retics.
