Is it safe to allow a ball python to wrap around your neck? Rest on your shoulders?

Ha! have you ever had a 5 foot python or boa wrap you up? Theoretical, yea ok.

Just saying.

Many times. I have no problem putting my 8' BCI around my shoulders and he is MUCH faster and MUCH stronger than any BP could ever be. I also know that there has never been even one reported instance of a Boa Constrictor killing an adult, much less a BP. I suppose a chihuahua could potentially kill a person too if you let it chew on your jugular, but it's not even worth worrying about it.

A five foot snake really isn't that big. It wouldn't take much effort to pull him off if he were to constrict like he meant it.
