Horrible story about a boa constrictor's head having to be cut off coz it was locked onto a woman's face.

When a snake locks on, it means it's hungry. If aggressive, they strike & release. She'd rescued it the day before so it cldve been v hungry

If it had locked on anywhere else , the solution would have been simple - hold that bit of your body under water till it lets go.

Have hold of it behind the head whilst doing this so you can keep it from locking on again. Put in tank. Feed it.

It doesn't hurt much when they lock on even when it's a boa - very fine, sharp teeth like needles. But on her face? What could they do?

And it's nonsense to say it was strangling her. It was 1.7 meters so a male or juvenile female - couldn't strangle a rabbit.

But they're difficult to unlock when locked on coz their teeth slant backwards. Had this problem with a Black Mexican King snake.

I didn't realise how much it needed to eat so it locked onto me 3 times - my fingers disappearing into it. Had to hold it in sink.
