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

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.


    Come on! Here is an 8' boa. You are trying to tell me that if he warped you up you would have no problem taking him off? Just how big are you? Doubtful that you are that big.

    again not my pic!


    Also a Cincinnati man was strangled to death by his 13' boa in 2006. So never say never.

    I never said that a ball python would constrict you and kill you! I did say that one could if it tried too. I also know that there has never been a recorded instance of a ball python killing an adult male human.
