    "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.

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

    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.
