Dwarf/Super Dwarf Retic Questions!

[Konotashi]

I've heard that alcohol is a good way to get a snake that latches on to let go. I'm not sure if that'll help much with the constricting part, but I imagine if you could get the head off, you could lead the rest off. (All just guesses, though! As I've said before, I have zero experience with giant snakes!) I don't doubt for a second though that if one of these snakes wanted to kill you, it could without trying. I would guess a good way to deal with the constricting part is to try and prevent it from wrapping around you in the first place? These are all just guess/questions, though....

Honestly, keeping a weapon just in case doesn't sound like a bad idea. As much as it would suck to have to resort to that (I couldn't imagine having to kill one of my babies to save myself), if I HAD to do it to save myself, then I would.

I think it'd be best to get my balls first, then boas (to get used to larger snakes), then maybe get a dwarf. If I can handle a dwarf, depending on how that goes, I MAY get a mainland.
All that being said, I do have a long way to go. But it's never too early to ask questions and research, right?

Alcohol works well with getting snakes off of you, but so does Listerine and hot water... Hot water is probably the safest to use, but not all snakes react the same to hot water/listerine/alcohol.
Hot water's worked the best for me, though.
