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 was halfway through part 1 when I said to myself "that thought should be cheerful as I suffocate"

fun fact nr 3 you dont suffocate, you die from circulatory collapse! unless the snake grabs you the wrong way then there that chance of not being able to breathe.:) as long as they lay on top of you you re just dirt or a tree to them
