You're right about the opposable thumbs, but the jury's still out on "more intelligent."

It IS theoretically possible that the snake could have fallen through the ceiling and landed on them. In that case, it could also have essentially grabbed both of them in a coil or two and held on for dear life. Terrestrial snakes are not big fans of falling, and they'll grab anything handy to stop a fall. However, the chances of that being what happened here are about the same as your odds of winning the lotto... Without buying a ticket. Even if it DID somehow defy the laws of probability, these boys were described as "suffocated," NOT "strangled." There's an enormous distinction between the two.
