These are all techniques people throughout the show used to make the snakes release (The smart ones anyway. One person called the police, who shot the snake in the head then decapitated it. Another guy tried stabbing the snake, which didn't work).

1. Poor Drinking Alcohol on the snakes eyes or in its mouth. (This is of course only recomended in a life or death situation. I'm sure alcohol isn't good for the snake. Much better than stabbing the snakes like some people did on the show though)

2. Poor Warm/Hot water on the snake.

3. Bend the snakes tale backward at a sharp angle.

Does anyone have a testimony for the effectiveness of these techniques?

I did watch that for about 15 minutes. I thought it would be an informative show on large pythons... Nope, just tell you how dangerous these animals are, and that they go into your homes at night and will try to swallow your kid after killing the dog because their mean and nasty. Very over dramatic about the "threat" of wild snakes. Wasn't a fan at all with how they so poorly represented these animals.
