I was thinking about taking a Burmese Python soon from my friend bc he is going away and cant take it w him to college and he is a nasty lil guy tand as you know they can reach 19 or more feet on average. I am a Boa owner and have some experience w constrictors. But knowing that this snake gets to a big length i would like to know what can be done to prevent attacks or help against them.
I heard that if a snake is sprayed w alcohol it would release from its constricting (dont know if this is true)
I also heard if its skin is pierced w something it would release as well (obviously I would not want to hurt the snake)
Just wondering if anyone knew anything in this area?
