Years ago I put a fellow workers 4 ft Python around my neck didn't take but a second for me to remove him when he started to constrict...
About 15 years ago I had to turkey hunt one spring on crutches because of a fractured femur head...crutches weren't too bad but Jim Bowie riding shotgun was.
I've handled and been bitten by my share of non venomous snakes when I was young but truth is I've never felt close enough to God to be handling a live poisonous snake.
One morning I was strolling back to the truck on my crutches and crossed paths with a beautiful King snake...her first reaction was to flea...then to defend...then to submit. She wrapped around my crutch and made the 100 yard walk to the truck with me.
I thought about keeping her...but I never have kept a snake. I knew I didn't need to get an infection from a bite so I laid the crutch down and let the King crawl away.

Actually, the way true constrictors kill is by tightening the coils when the victim exhales each time. Eventually, the victim cannot inhale enough, and dies by suffocation.SRH I had a seat belt in a Chevy Suburban once that would do that same thing...Geo  SRH
May God bless America and those who defend her.
