Damn, I missed the “by a” and thought a woman swallowed a python and thought, “fuck yeah, see how you like it, you bastard!”
Need my coffee.
that’s why i grew so large; so i can’t be swallowed easily.
When I was growing up in Jakarta, they found two enormous pythons in the culvert right next to the elementary school. They sacrificed a goat to lure them out, then when they were dated they just packed them up and took them to a local safari park. The smaller one was about 21 feet long, while the bigger one was 24 or 25. Just huge.
Thoar’s a very calculated and mature response to something that could literally eat you children
If I had a nickel…
I dunno what would be a better attempt at self defense against such large snakes, but I think I’d start carrying around both pepper spray and also a stun gun, just in case.
No idea if either would be fully effective, but damn that would be a hell of a way to go, might as well try to be prepared to defend myself.
I used to use rubbing alcohol on my pet snake’s nose if he accidentally latched onto me instead of his food. I don’t have any idea if that would work on snakes that kill by constriction though
Just politely ask the snake that is eating you to wait a minute while you get your alcohol and cotton balls ready.
Fair enough, seems a handy enough trick.
In that case, I’d probably carry around a super soaker water gun loaded with some strong alcohol, and just hope I’d be able to shoot it at a distance before it gets close enough to wrap around me.
Could also in a pinch light the alcohol on fire as a crude flamethrower, packing a double punch…
That’s if you spot it before it grabs you. I imagine it’s gonna be hard to aim a shotgun or swing a machete once the snake starts constricting you.
I’m assuming the person has at least one hand free. A big “that’s not a noife, this is a noife” would solve the problem lickety split. If both arms are pinned then there isn’t much you can do. Try to bite it I guess, but they’re used to being bitten by animals much more ferocious than humans.
Wear a special constrictor armor that deploys buzz saws if it’s ever squeezed with enough force to break ribs.
