I know this is silly, but I was wondering... what would you do if your large python started to constrict you? I've heard a few instances of it here, but not how they solved the 'problem'... I know you can prevent it by not dangling a massive snake around your neck, but eh, some people still do...
I know how silly this is - but I'd like to know who here has the biggest reptile! If you've got a large snake or monitor in your collection why not a post a pic and some measurments!

We picked him up last Thursday. I left him alone for a day and then took him out to put him in his feeding tub as he was due for a feed. All he does is strike and bite.
I understand he is scared, but shouldn't he be 'sick' of striking at me by now???

Last night I went across the road to check out a snake in the ceiling. It was a huge scrubby wrapped around on of the ceiling lights. I thought it was too big to pull it down without taking the light and probably half of the ceiling with it. It was one of those ceilings made of panels, wires...

I heard and agree that it's good to have at least one python that is bittey or snappy in a collection. Especially if it's one of the larger species such as a coastal, olive or scrubby.
Some would even say aggressive

Or disagree, why?
Does it make you a better handler...
