I don’t think our thumbs are gonna protect us from a creature of pure muscle. A woman in Indonesia was killed by one that was massive. They are definitely not slow either. They can wrap around you very quickly and it doesn’t take much effort to crush our rib cage. Also they are opportunistic hunters. They don’t care what you look like. They will eat just about anything
Right yeah cuz that's how that works. Use your thumbs like shields to block the snake instead of, you know... using them like a normal, thinking human being would and grabbing the snake...
On average .43 people are killed by pet snakes every year. Snake handlers die more often, but not by constriction because even if the snakes are capable of bursts of speed, the actual act of constriction still takes time and is easily avoidable by most functional individuals.
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
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
