"Strongest" constricting snake vid/docu?

I recall somewhere that there was a study done on what was the "strongest" snake (constriction wise).

Been trying to locate the thread...but so far, no luck. I did see that natgeo vid in youtube measuring the constriction "strength" of a yellow anaconda, but that's it.

Can anyone point me to the rest of the said docu/research? I recall that it was the retic who got the award but I was hoping i could view the entire docu/read the entire report :)

Thanks

i think they had some wires hooked up to a chicken as an anaconda constricted it.

Yep! That;s the one! (cant recall if it was a chicken or a duck).

YouTube - Strangle power of Anaconda tested

thanks for the link; still awesome to watch ;)

But is there one for the retic?

Anaconda has a stronger coil then a retic, and it was a green btw, not a yellow.

Thanks for sharing...

Love the video. I know they did a test with a burm on discovery one day. Ive never seen one with a retic though. You can tell a significant difference though if you hold a green conda and then hold a retic or a burm.

Do you know if this is a comparison between two snakes of the same weight?

My green anaconda is around 6 feet and she already feels more powerful to me then my 10 foot retics.
