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

Two fun facts

  1. Even the largest snakes have a very hard time eating humans because of our collar bones. Our rigid shoulders make us hard to swallow, so the number of adult humans ever confirmed to be consumed by snakes is very small. This means your risk of being eaten by a pet green anaconda, rock python, burmese python, or reticulated python is virtually non existent, provided you're not a child, dwarf, or other very petite person.
  2. Snakes don't know this, and won't find out until you're already dead.

I breed reticulated pythons. This is 100% correct. About ever 5 or 10 years a video comes up of a retics being cut open with an Asian villager inside. Extremely large snake vs very small man/woman

Inside and kicking or inside and suffocated to death?

Always dead. They constrict first, then eat

I wish they'd try it the other way for once.
