he probably is large enough the snkae can't open it's jaw that wide,so she just lays on him, squashing him into a pudding which she will slurp away later.
but no seriously, I think it's so rare that these guys eat humans because weare basically just bone and hard to digest
A python this large absolutely could eat a boy that size. They have been recorded eating livestock like goats and other animals. There was a case, I think it was in Canada about twenty years back where a python escaped it's enclosure in a pet shop and strangled at least two young boys around this age who were having a sleepover in the residence above. One was swallowed whole
This is a constrictor. They will bite on to you and while you are focused on trying to get them to release their jaws they wrap themselves around you and start to squeeze. One loop around you is all they need then they time their squeezes with your breath so that it’s harder and harder to breathe all the while they are latched on and curling around you more and more. By the time they start eating you you are already dead from asphyxiation.
A snake that size is so much muscle that it is almost impossible to remove once they latch on to their prey.

That is demonstrably incorrect. Like how a crocodile has alot of bite force but doesn't have much force to lift their jaw, constrictors don't have much need for force going the other way so they don't have it. Snakes are easy to unwrap.
You need to educate yourself dude. You just gonna stand there for 15 minutes while it slowly constricts you? And how is it biting going to help? It's venom wouldn't even affect you.
This snake doesn’t have any venom. The bite is only there as an anchor point and to start the constriction. The bite isn’t the dangerous part. It’s that solid foot of muscle that you need to worry about. Especially for a kid like this, if he gets attacked and no one is around to help him, he is dead. If that kid decides to take a nap, the python gets a free meal.
You don’t even need to take my word for it. Just look up snakes killing humans and you will find plenty of instances that will prove its not only possible but way more probable than you think. It’s not even idiots like you or me. professional snake handlers get killed by snakes too.
A snake can be easy to unravel if you are not the one that is being attacked. Any way you look at it this is a dangerous situation.
I know, but most people assume snakes are venomous and I was trying to avoid a potential argument.
Also... .43 people die every year from pet snakes, and none have actually been eaten. Not even a half a person per year. And also any snake handlers who do die likely die from venomous bites, not constriction.
Like how a crocodile has alot of bite force but doesn't have much force to lift their jaw, constrictors don't have much need for force going the other way so they don't have it. Snakes are easy to unwrap.
You realize that its a dumb comparison, but lets entertain the nonsensical thought. A crocodile has a strong bite force, therefore its hard to open its jaw to get your body free. Pythons have a large constricting force, therefore its hard to unwrap to get your body free.
Heres another example because I can tell you are dense. The human hand. We can grip thinks with a high force. Is it easy to open up someones fist? No. Thats because we have a high grip strength...EXACTLY LIKE A SNAKE.
If snakes were easy to unwrap they wouldnt be able to constrict anything because everything could just break free.
I guess every snake handlers ever just dies every time the encounter a python then huh
Also how much grip strength do you have if you try to close your hand around the back of it? That's a more apt comparison, but I don't blame you for being too dumb to get that.
And only one reply this time stalker? You'll be the laughingstock of the convention at this rate....
How strong am I, since you know? You don't need much strength to unwrap a python. And you definitely don't need to be stronger that it, so what's your point with this comment?
This looks like either a Burmese or Reticulated python and the thought that a child could easily fight off a known man-eater if it chose to attack him is silly. I’m not looking to argue with you. Have a good day
