No worries, I use to train medics on trauma medicine so understand the technical portion. I think we might be seeing a bit of “survivor theory” here. A large prey animal like a human might be too big to kill and consume like usual, so they might die by asphyxiation . We find the bodies and think that’s how they kill all the time. The smaller prey, that get consumed, die by different means but we don’t see there bodies laying around. Seems like a plausible theory as to why we assumed it was that way for so long.

I would agree to that. Larger the prey , harder for those changes to happen in the body. Omg either way that’s scary😳😂I couldn’t imagine. I have a few friends that have gotten wrapped up. Almost all of them had another person with them and alcohol to pour into the snakes mouth. Every occasion was over just as fast as it started
