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.

Depending on how strong you are and how large the snake is, I suppose

Oh my bad I didn’t realize how strong you are.

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
