I got constricted!

Vinegar is prefered but in a pinch vodka or whiskey can work I've heard.

Jen. any pics., your bf was there and he could not grab the camera? :P

For big snakes, a bottle of vodka or any high alcohol liquid will do. Also, bending their tail makes them let go as well from what I've heard.

So if you are out in the wild and are randomly constricted, peeing your pants might actually work!

Also, if you listen closely, you can hear them cry "Uncle"!

I prefer bamboo shoots under their fingernails.

lol; no pics. It doesn't look like much right now; tried for 5 minuts to photograph my right hand with my left; our camera takes really slow shots without the flash, so I got a thumb shaped blur, lol.
Luckily, none of her teeth came off in my skin!

lol @ Adam

and Ed

all you have to do is warm water,rubbing achool in the face or bend the tail backwards

I saw this on a snake show

I am thinking that maybe the rack has intensified their feeding response?
