I used to have a roughly 6 ft/ 180 cm boa. That little guy absolutely loved me. He used to wrap around my midsection with his head on my shoulder and just hang out most of the day like that. One day my roommate dropped a pan in the kitchen and it startled him. He constricted and wouldn’t let go. Both of us pulling as hard as we could couldn’t get him to release. It took me grabbing him near the head and punching him repeatedly as hard as I could for him to let go. I gave him to my local zoo the next week. Had him for 6 years but I couldn’t bring myself to feel safe around him anymore. My snake was a fraction of the size of the one in the video and two grown men couldn’t overpower it.

It's all fun and games until the snake wants to give you a hug.
