I've heard two different methods of getting a snake to let go from a bite since I've been on here: Spray with H2O or spray with alcohol. Think I woulda tried that -first-.
Then why does the cop in the story have a different name than the guy that got bit?? and why would there have been paramedics at the scene if the police or paramedics one hadnt been called?

I apologise---I guess it was the double l's in both names that made me think that "Crilly" and "Miller" blended together in my first reading of the story. My bad.
Re: police use taser on python
I think they should misted some warm water on the snakes face.... everytime ive had a feeding/bite confusion, warm water was the key.
Im sure the taser worked, and with the size of the snake it "probably"? (no clue, guessing here) wasn't a mortal danger to the snake, but still...
And people will bemoan this as a snake turning on its owner, when it was the owner being careless when feeding.

That guy needs a :fishslap:.
Re: police use taser on python
Rubbing Alcohol Will also make a snake release immediately. Much safer than tasering it. Poor thing.
Re: police use taser on python
well to be honest, in a situation like that... if i was given a choice to have it shot or tasered... i'd go for a taser.
most likely they didn't have any knowledge of how to get the snake to release or they would have done it that way.
Re: police use taser on python
Bull"crap" won't use the other word but you some of you are full of it. If you're getting constricted by a huge snake you're gonna do what you need to to get free...if you can do it w/o hurting the snake thats good. But if you can't. lol....lets just say my snake would be dead. Ninja edit: even though the snake was only 8 feet long. :cool:
Re: police use taser on python
Any type of alcohol is suppose to work even the good ole drinking kind.
Anyone who has a snake over 6-7 feet when feeding or handling should have another person present and or some alcohol or such handy in the event of this type of situation.
I know your suppose to pour it right in there face,eyes, mouth.
Hey the taser sure as heck beats what usually would happen in that situation.
