My boa has bit and constricted around my arm before and I highly doubt that it was planning on eating me.
Then there was another case where one of my corns swallowed my whole finger (that was sorta freaky) but I still doubt that he thought that he was going to eat me

Yes.. that's what I mean.
I'm sure your boa was fully intending to eat your ARM (which was probably rodent scented?).. not being smart enough to realise it was connected to you. ;)
Your corn swallowed your whole finger? That conjures an interesting picture.

They have amazing strength. If one were to sit there and let a full grown BP constrict your neck, it could cut off your air supply.
If you have pics of your iguana, you can start a new thread and post them there.

yeah...but you wouldn't let it do it to you..trust me i've had that happen to me, and you do have the strength to get it off(or you can LET it cut your air supply off)

Yes of course.. but if this kid was REALLY sleeping (ie dead to the world or perhaps comatose) it IS possible. Highly doubtful, but possible.
-also, if he was a weak person, he could possibly not have the strength to pull a BP off. A large female BP is capable of reaching 6', that is a formidable amount of strength when you are a child.
