    Re: Virginia Beach, VA - Woman killed by pet python

    i call foul play.

    Were there scratch marks or injury to the snake? Did the snake possibly bite her?

    How hard would it be for a grown man to crush a womans throat with an arm? maybe it was someone else? maybe another object used instead? *would they leave visible marks as compared to a snake performing the same action?*

    Im all for hearing how this could have happened like this. But i have a real hard time believing a 10 foot snake could kill a person without receiving injury to itself as well. I know i would be clawing at a snake around my neck and tearing it apart, among other things if my life depended on it. ( maybe not, but i have a hard time believing myself that i would go down without a fight)

    Would the coils of a snake that size, block off the bloodflow to the brain before they crushed the esophagus?

    Thanks for any answers to those that might be able to answer them for me. I am just, honestly, having a hard time believing this went down as it did. I suppose its a fault of mine, or learned practice to be skeptical.
