    Re: Is it safe to allow a ball python to wrap around your neck? Rest on your shoulder

    Small constrictors approximately 3 ft long and 1.5 inches thick can squeeze with pressures up to 4 PSI

    A 4 or 5 foot ball python is much larger than 1.5 inches.

    Also an 18 foot python applies 12 psi and a 5 foot 6psi.

    That's per square inch. My neck is about 17 inches If a ball python where to wrap around my neck with 2 coils and lets just say it only has 4psi of strength. At only 34 square inches (if the snake was only 1 inch around in diameter) that would be the same as 136 pounds of pressure. 136 Pounds of Pressure! Tell me just how easy that would be to remove?

    Ok well maybe BG or Boanerges could possibly get it off with little to no difficulty. lol j/k even they would have troubles i bet. Especially if one were to panic which I am sure most would.
    Lotsa Balls and more
