Horrible story about a boa constrictor's head having to be cut off coz it was locked onto a woman's face. 
It probably didn't suffer tho.Their sensing of pain is much delayed. If they cut off its head fairly quickly it would have been dead b4 pain

That's why feeding them live prey can be cruel to them as well as to prey. If not hungry,a boa can let a rat eat part of it coz pain delayed

Yup. We always had prey-eating reptiles growing up. Was taught to remove feeder critters from tank if not eaten within an hour or two.

I couldn't feed live prey anyway. Unnecessary suffering. I 'walk' the rat past my boa's nose to get his pouncing instincts going.
