What a horrible way to die. We have a lot of rattlesnakes here, and copperheads. I just had to call DNR to remove a rattlesnake from my porch last week. I dont mind non-venomous snakes as long as they are outside but these venomous ones can f**k off and die.

We have a 9 foot long ring tail boa.

He's silent and lightening fast. When he strikes his food, he immediately twists and squeezes. There is no time for the food to react. Generally, it's dead upon the strike, but if the strike doesn't kill it, the pressure from the constriction does.

I have no problems understanding how a python can kill a human being. The only surprise to me was that it was able to swallow her, but my husband, who is a bit of a herpetologist says that a 24 foot python can easily swallow a smaller human.

I cant image being that still ling enough for a snake to eat me.

Right? I'm not getting the logistics of that. A snake that big sneaks up on you? And it's able to grab you?

Yikes! That poor lady. The good news is that she didn't know what hit her. Sounds like it would be fast and painless. Thank you for the info.

Snakes have to eat, too.
