Thanks for the reply! Lol a 6 foot RTB still sounds pretty strong, a 6~8 foot thick snake just being more serious. I heard the unwrapping from the tail thing too today, and it makes sense.

I wish my GTP weren't so long. She had her tail end still wrapped around her perch, and her front end was wrapped three times around my fingers and wrist.

I was told in another group that pouring water on their head works too, with warm~hot water being even faster than cold, if you're still stuck in a bad place.

I believe that! I suddenly feel too weak and thin! LOL. Some of these snakes are so strong.
