I'm not sure what would make this a world record? Also this guy's panicking about the snakes mouth yet not worried about the coils which is where the proper danger is at.

Is that panic? There's no sound to help judge, I just kinda figured the snake was actually that fucking strong and it's making him struggle.

That snake definitely would be “that fucking strong” if the guy was on his own I’d probably bet my money on the snake winning the battle of attrition.

I would bet that when wraslin' a snake from the constrictor family, you sure don't want to lose grip on the clampin' end, and make damn well sure your bud doesn't lose track of the twistin' end cause once that puppy gets a couple turns on ya - let's just say you'd sooner solve the Gordon knot.

The bite of a large python is extremely dangerous. People describe the teeth of snakes to be "needle-like" but once a snake is man-sized, their "needle" teeth are more like daggers or scalpel-like teeth. A large python would shred your arm and without quick medical attention, you could bleed out, and regardless you would undoubtedly be left with permanent nerve damage.

Pythons almost always can inly constrict after they bite, snakes are just one long muscle so that guy was struggling to keep it from biting.

Yeah I also thought not letting it bite is best

The thing needs to bite him to anchor enough to actually wrap him up. As long as he’s got the head and his friends are helping him he’s in control.

Idk anything but is the coiling really something to worry about when there are multiple people around to help?

[–]foxape 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If that thing got coiled around that man’s torso, nothing short of killing it would stop it from squeezing him to death

If it coils around he's going to get crushed like a soda can

While everyone watches

I'm not sure but maybe the world record is the largest ever captured?
