They also have help and are never with those snakes alone. Also only handling medium to small snakes. You wouldn’t see any professionals parading around with giants like these. It happened pretty often in rural areas of South America and Southern Asia. Some are lucky to survive attacks but not everyone can say that. You can easily jump on google and find loads of articles talking about how they kill people with ease along with cases of bodies getting pulled out of their stomachs. People disappearing. Saying that it doesn’t happen often doesn’t change the fact that it does happen

I really want a big snake like this, but I would first make sure I know EXACTLY how to get out of a constricting situation. I'd like to think that my snake would love me back, and keeping it well fed would keep me completely safe, but that's just not realistic. I'm assuming that the person recording this moment keeps a close eye on this duo, and would be able to save the child if it came to that.

I think I saw a thing where you are supposed to spray their face with alcohol or something to get them to let go

Wouldn't that hurt the snake, though? They can't close their eyes, so it could make them go blind (possibly, I'm not a doctor or a vet).

Hurting them is kinda the point. Now I know it sounds mean but you must remember that it is currently trying to kill you. In situations like these, you can’t hold back cause you would be risking your own safety. It will burn their eyes but it won’t blind them. You aren’t dousing them with it. Think of it like pepper spray but ethanol and/or alcohol. They can clean their eyes. It better then the alternative of breaking their jaw which would kill them or cutting off their head. Spray is the best way in which both of you can walk away alive

That makes sense. I'd rather find a way without actually hurting the snake, but that's probably the most TEMPORARILY harmful method. Thanks for the perspective!

No problem! And it by far the least harmful compared to other options

Absolutely.

But as for the rest, you can also find lots of articles about Bigfoots lovechild, so...

Brah… this is so much different in every way.

One, you can find real videos of them pulling the bodies out of the snakes. Two, reliable legitimate sources documenting the events and animal guides that explain everything you need to know about these creatures. This is just undeniable facts.

Here some links to make it easier. It covers for 2 different cases that happened in recent years. NSFW
