It strikes me as a particularly horrible death, being strangled by a snake so powerful that there was a complete deprivation of oxygen to the brain for 4 minutes. It must have been a horrible last 4 minutes for that dude, unable to free himself from the deadly grasp of the snake coiled so tightly around his neck....

Oh yeah. Terrible way to go.

Last week heading back home from the gym passing by this bar and saw this dude with this big ass yellow python around his neck. I was like WTF are you nuts?

It happens all the time, some people are bitten by poisonous snakes they keep.

Snakes have no attachment. They feel nothing for their "master" unlike some other animals.
