How did retics get so popular?

Heck, even a ball python. Mine has done that to me a couple times and even with his size his strength is deceptive. Granted I probably could easily pry my hands free and it's more of a matter of carefully encouraging him to move off so I don't hurt him, but the point is any snake that relies on constriction (and even those that don't) shouldn't be underestimated regardless of size. That tube of a body is all MUSCLE, and they know how to use it.

primates are also made of muscle - a lot of them in fact but for clarification, is it being suggested ball pythons are dangerous and require a team of people to manage?

The point is constrictor snakes have a lot more strength than initially supposed. I don't recall any records of a ball python killing someone, but I still wouldn't, say, drape one over my neck out of precaution.
