Re: How big does a constrictor have to be before it can kill you?

So a 6 foot rat snake requires two people?

It only takes 5-6 seconds for somebody to lose consciousness due to the blood flow to the brain being cut off. After a loss of consciousness, any number of things could occur that could lead to death. So in my opinion, any snake that is strong enough to constrict your neck and resist removal for more than a few seconds is capable of causing a human death.

Yup most of the time we would just make sure there were two of us in the area so we wouldn't get in trouble.
