Reply to moskwiz I was on about a small amount of a alcohol and its not barbaric so stop being dramatic. Some people bend the snakes tail back to get them off, which can break the backs of the snake. It makes the snake release without damage. Next time either you get bit by a giant snake or your snakes bite eachother try another way without any damage to you or the snakes. Trust me it does not hurt them and they let go pretty sharpish

Looks like a Python to me. With all the constrictors species they bite first then kill the prey, and trust me it hurts like hell. From what i saw it looked like a warning strike not a feeding strike. I keep big snakes and if you handle then the best ways of getting them off you if they bite are to pour strong alcohol either down the throat or in the eyes. This does not hurt the snake but it does make them let go it was not the snakes fault it struck it was the persons.
