There was a story about a lady and a snake. It had to do with trust. The snake asked this pretty woman to take him in for the night, but I can't remember the story. The punch line, after he did something bad to her...he said, you knew I was a snake, when you took me in.
If you exhale, it will grip you tighter and you won't be able to inhale again. That's why they are called "constrictors".

I am so thankful for this thread... I've been afraid to go to the bathroom for years out of fear that a giant snake will crawl out of the toilet and kill me. Now, I can re-enter the bathroom, armed with knowledge of what to do in such a situation.
Oh wait, can someone tell me what to do if there are spiders hiding under the seat?

This is just asking for a ridiculous situation.
1) If you're being constricted, you probably have absolutely no chance to bite it's next/back.
2) If you have booze with you, chances are you're drunk and it's entirely your fault for getting in this situation. You deserve to die.
3) "Hold on, let me run into the house, boil some fscking water, and I'll be right back. Just don't die."
4) How the hell are you supposed to do that when you have a huge ass snake wraped around you?

If a boa gets wrapped around you kiss your a$$ goodbye. I watched a program where they measured the actual force that a boa constricts with using a duck with an appropriate measuring device attached. Within a second or 2 the bos was constricting with the force arond 80 psi and continued to increase the pressure for another 6 or 7 seconds up to around 100 psi. That would be the equivalent of being crushed by a school bus. Exhaling would only work if the boa didn't continue to increase the pressure. Best advice - avoid boas.
I have to agree with LoKe, but I guess the best thing to do while roaming in boa territory is to carry some alcohol around and ofcourse have your friend carry some around.

Hey, some people still think that snakes are slimy. They're dryer than human skin. We've got all these pores oozing oil all the time. Snakes have scales and water-resistant skin. People should complain about slimy humans if anything.
Point is, plenty of people out there are totally clueless about snakes, hence the failure to detect sarcasm.
precisely.
a snake will NOT let go if it fears someone, it will constrict for its life and when the head is cut off, its body will constrict MORE...
snakes are NOT stupid, and are NOT defenseless.
Answer: Make sure you bring your 6+ foot pet komodo dragon with you to fight off the boa constrictor. Remember to feed it rotten meat before hand to build up its deadly bacteria levels in its mouth for one bite kill action!
