I figured I'd throw this out for general discussion and chat. There are several opportunities for a snake to wrap up on something. I'd like opinions and experienced people to chime in. We have a small 560 GM, 32.5" Royal python but let's apply this to all larger BP's and bigger constrictors.

How much can a snake handle as far as force used to unwrap it without hurting the snake?

There are times when these guys can wrap around furniture, your arms, legs, hopefully not your neck but we'll throw it in for discussion and the sake of urgent emergency stuff.

Let's start with general removal from household stuff, and then move to human arms and legs and and lastly more serious stuff like "OH $hat, I made a mistake and now its around my neck" or a friend's neck.

I want to have this lean toward the well being of the snake for starters and keep it injury free, and obviously if it comes to a child or an adult VS a larger constrictor and it's life and death we have to do what we have to do.

Now that I've said all that; What is the safest way to untangle a snake with hurting it?
