DDE!!!THANK YOU!!!

FINALLY SOMEONE WITH SOME DAMN SENSE ON THIS SITE!!!

Will.... :) Try this... Wrap your hands tightly around your neck. Now, everytime you breath out, squeeze your throat a little harder. After three breathes you should be choking lol. Imagine this feeling only 10x worse. This is similar to what you'd experience if you were infact being strangled by a large constrictor. I'd like to see someone stab away at an animal while they were in this state lol. Even if they could stab away, that would just be precious energy wasted. Energy that should be spent reaching for a bottle of alcohol. How laughable... Unfortunately Will, you would never survive a man eating snake lol.

I just had this same conversation the other day at work. Like Dde was explaining earlier, you need to learn the body language of your snake. They won't bite for the hell of it. Biting is a last resort. They will "tell" you ahead of time. If you're not capable of reading these signs, then you have no business handling a large constrictor.

Now lets say a snake does try to attack and kill you. Well you can take a freakin' machine gun to the snake, it's not going to die. Snakes are one big muscle, so you can kick, hit, bite, stab, shoot, all you want and it's most likely only going to annoy the snake and fuel its anger. Now if by some crazy chance you managed to kill the snake, it would still be strangling you. I've heard stories of people cutting off their snakes head, only to be shocked when their pet was still strangling the life out of them after death.

Snakes aren't dogs. They aren't tigers, they aren't gators, they aren't bears. They are something entirely different. T.V. does hell for their reputation... Your best bet when being strangled is to upset their mouth... Try dumping alcohol down their throat...
 
Oh and btw... Croc. dundee wears a reticulated python vest :( Screw that guy...
 
Hehehe, I love when you make a light hearted comment, then egg someone on for the hell of it, and they egg you on and so on and so on...

116, similarly, I would like to see you trying to use a bottle of alcohol while alone with a big constrictor around you. It's unlikely that the snakes head would be in arms reach, and often they'll hide their head while constricting. While you try to liquor up your scarf, I'll have cut into the muscles squeezing me neck.

But this is all rhetoric, because as I said before I wouldn't be alone while handling Xlarge snake.
 
Actually, that is one of the many little rules you should follow when handling a large snake. Always know where their head is. One of the most important things to keep in mind. If my snake gets ahold of me (which would be very unlikely) I would know where its head was. And even if I wasn't keeping track of it... being bit by a snake that size is like being punched by a hundred needle-like teeth... I'd know soon enough lol. I always have a bottle of rubbing alcohol nearby when I'm handling my Burmese alone.

Another thing to do is make sure they don't get a coil fully wrapped around your neck. That's bad news. If you remember these things, and ontop of that you know your animals body language, an attack is very unlikely. Accidents do happen though, and if you're prepared, you can get out of them just as quickly as you got into them.
 
well this is partially off topic but also partially spot on. I have a rednose pit I treat like a child. i wrestle with him all the time and he loves it. i couldnt imagine him ever turning on me. Hes like a family member, I even cook him dinner a couple times a week. However, if he ever viciously attacked me i would have no quams about seriously injurring him, if not killing him to save myself. Point being an animal is an animal causing injury to them to prevent them causing injury to you is not only acceptable as far as im concerned, I would go as far as to say anyone who thinks that it isnt acceptable is unreasonable at the least, possibly unintelligent.
 
That is actually very off topic. I too, have a pit, and as I stated earlier. SNAKES ARE NOT DOGS. They are nothing like them. Comparing them is just silly. My pit and my 12ft python have NOTHING in common other than the fact that I love them both with my whole heart and both are over qualified to kill me. It disgusts me to even think of harming either of them. I'll tell ya whats unintelligent, owning an animal that you have to think about injuring to save your own life. If you honestly think its going to have to come to such a thing, then you have no right to own that animal. You're responsible for their lives. You are god to them, and it's not fair for you to decide to kill them for acting the way they've been born to act.
 
i already stated i couldnt imagine him ever attacking me. i couldnt imagine him hurting anyone. However animals live on instincts and even domesticated animals sometimes attack for no reason. If you keep an animal that even you admit cant be domesticated and you are unwilling to harm that animal if need be to save your own life, or possibly someone elses then you are irresponsible, and you are the one who shouldnt be keeping that pet. You say that the only comparison between a snake and a pitbull is they are both overqualified to take your life, well, thats the only comparison i was drawing.
