Hit: 6 (1d8 + 2) bludgeoning damage, and the target is grappled (escape DC 14). While many boa constrictors have found their way into terrariums, the snakes are originally from the region spanning from Mexico to Argentina. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. If the snake can't breathe, it will release the prey and surface for air, he said.īoback added that it's best to avoid handling snakes when they're digesting meals or molting, as they're more likely to strike at those times, because they're feeling irritable or vulnerable. "You can push a credit card from the snout to the back of its mouth to help dislodge the teeth," he said.Īnother strategy involves submerging the snake's head in water, though this works only if the snake has bitten a part of the body that can also be submerged, such as a hand or foot, Boback said. Sliding a credit card under the snakes' teeth can help detach it, Boback said. That means "to remove that from her nose, you actually have to move the head of the snake forward," Boback said. "It's designed not to fall off of the prey, "Boback said. Snakes' teeth are curved and backward-pointing. He noted that there are ways to remove a snake other than decapitating it. So, it's likely the snake bit the woman's face first and then coiled around her neck, Boback said. īoa strike and coil application from Scott Boback on Vimeo. As a snake lunges forward to bite, it generates momentum that helps it glide into a constriction loop, bending its chin downward and going into a sort of somersault as it curls around the prey's body. However, snakes must bite first and coil second, he noted. For instance, if a person has a snake wound around his or her shoulders - a feat of braggadocio usually done to get pictures of the daring act - the snake can easily strike the person's face or the face of a nearby person, Boback said. ![]() It's unclear what the woman was doing when the snake bit her, but snakes can bite people in the face if they're close enough, Boback said. A reporter from the Chronicle-Telegram who later visited the house found an empty glass cage on the sidewalk and a small puddle of blood on the driveway. The woman was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to the Chronicle-Telegram. We started out a normal day off out fishing with Tobie man, when we received a snake call about a HUGE PYTHON. "They had to cut its head off with a knife to get it to let go of her face." Never a dull moment down here in South Florida. Boa constrictors are not venomous, but "it was wrapped around her neck and biting her nose and wouldn't let go," Sheffield Lake Fire Chief Tim Card told the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram. "There's blood everywhere."įirefighters found the woman lying on her driveway. "Please hurry - it's on my nose," said the woman, who wasn't named. She told emergency workers that she had taken on two boa constrictors as "rescue snakes" the day before and had 11 snakes total in her home, according to audio of the emergency call. "Despite that she was in a good condition and she is a really beautiful snake with a vivid coloured skin.In the incident ,which occurred on July 27, the woman couldn't pry the 5.5-foot-long (1.6 meters) snake off, so she called 911 at 2 p.m. She said: “The boa had been left for a few hours in the cold as there was no heating or lighting in the vivarium. ![]() RSPCA animal rescue officer Enola Evans rescued the snake and took her to an aquatics and reptile centre in Norfolk. The RSPCA said there was no heating in the vivarium and the water bowl was empty, but despite being abandoned, the reptile was in good health when she was found at around 6.30pm. The footage showed a man getting out of a blue/black car and taking the tank - known as a vivarium - from the back of the vehicle before dumping it. It was seen being left outside the house in Hamel Way on 20 August by a neighbour who has handed the animal charity CCTV showing a man leaving it on the side of the road. The six-foot snake was inside a large tank which was dumped on the drive at Widdington near Saffron Walden. The RSPCA has launched an investigation after a large boa constrictor was left blocking a driveway. ![]()
