Terrifying Encounter: Hospital Maid Saved After Being Attacked by a Python

[black tabby12345]

Python has no venom.

So they use the power of their muscles instead; strangle the prey to death.

Reminds me of Anaconda, a movie from 1990s(remade this year).

Great to know the victim survived.

After 30 intense minutes of working to free her, the team managed to release the snake’s grip, but it quickly escaped into the nearby swamp

It is well known that Thai police doesn't carry guns, or did it take half an hour to aim?

And I see @proton's profile image shows a photo of Trump with the upside-down USA flag. An upside-down flag indicates "dire distress," and that's exactly what Trump is to the USA. 

Well it might have taken 9 hours but it was worth waiting for,    The most astonishing effort to mention Donald Trump in a totally unrelated thread I have personally seen to date.   I think this obsession is taking over some peoples lives, get help

Do you seriously think they would have the necessary skills to shoot a snake that was coiled around  woman without killing her?

See, you are the second one not understanding, and quoting the same. Now you can go party with @Liverpool Lou who also had problem realizing what I was outing in my post. Look below, and read, as that is the answer I gave to Mr. Liverpool who didn´t understand as well.

Try and understand what my quote was pointing at. Not the snakes grip. Her grip holding the head away. You can also understand that if you read the post I quoted. Thank you for taking understanding into consideration. 🙂 Wait now! I forgot something..... hmmmmm... Oh yes! Duh, right dude?

 

Hopefully, you will also get a grip and understand. How is it? Has the baht fallen down yet? 😉 Wait now! Yeah you deserve one as well, Duh!

So maybe the problem with understanding is yours, Gottfrid, not anyone else's!

They had to dig out the head anyhow, and then it's point blank. But they probably didn't want to get their hands dirty.

We have caught 3 of those snakes, around 3 to 3,5 meters where I usually stay in winter time. The were after our small baby goats, Before we even can get the Forrest Rangers to pick them up, or local Burmese neighbors have chopped them up as "Snake Chops" and used them for food! I am sure there are so many of these "gangsta snaes" around, it does not matter much. Those snakes are far away from where they belong. If they get a child, then what!! To me they are not more than rats!!

[Bday Prang]

They could have tried sticking  a finger up its ar$e   Apparently it works for pit bulls,   Not sure if it works on Pythons but it would have been a perfect opportunity to find out .  It would also have made for a hilarious video clip

still an idiotic thing to say - compounded by the fact you don't realise it.

Maybe because the poor lady was still holding on to its head?

She would probably have had more bites if she let the head go.

 

 

Terrified, Ms. Arom attempted to pull the snake off by grabbing its head,.....It IS A Horrible experience having your head grabbed & HELD on to I Speak from Experience !!

What is idiotic? Are you beyond repair? I was not referring to the snakes grip in my original post. I was referring to that she could not have such a strong grip of the snakes head, as she was almost unconscious when they found her. And that quote was connected to another post that I quoted. Your stupidity is compounded by your difficulties to understand that.

doesn't surprise me that you don't know......and the fact that you continue to promulgate such rubbish says more about you than the snake.

Seems to me, you just take out what you see fit from my posts that fits you purpose. The answer why is really simple. You know that you are wrong, and understood wrong, but you cut info that would make you need to admit.

I don't know, maybe there was a good reason. maybe no one had a chain saw or machete in their back pocket.  I suspect it is the Thai people's fundamental respect for all living creatures, and knowing that this is not the same as a rogue tiger or rabid animal which would pose as ongoing risk. The python was just being a python.

A monitor bite would be preferable to slow suffocation and then being swallowed possibly while still alive.

 Gangrene and sepsis is a horrific end. 

[bristolgeoff]

The snake is not dangerous unless it was trying to swallow the person i think.But really the thai person is just afraid of snakes.If poisonous then you have a problem other wise it may try to wrap around a limb but easy to defend yourself

The muscles constricting on her do not relax if you cut off the head. Nor if you slice the body. You have to try to unwind the snake. 

So why not cut of the head first and then unwind? Or is it more easy to unwind if it still is alive?

[degrub]

You want the snake to unwind. That takes a brain and not a reflex.

But "the end" is not guaranteed (nor is the contracting of gangrene or sepsis) as death by suffocation and consumption whilst still alive would be if she hadn't been rescued.  Being crushed and swallowed by a constrictor is not treatable...gangrene and sepsis are.

would it work to shove a water hose in the mouth of the snake and turn the water on?

Thanks for this info.

I once learned (in Brasil) that the way to dea with an anaconda trying to constrict you is slicing its body with a knife.  I fortunately never had to try whether this really works,  but the guy who told me had done this before. 

So, with a python it wouldn't work,  right? 

[degrub]

Maybe. They are the same family of constrictors. She was able to get help. If it is just you and the snake, sure give it a go. It may release if getting enough pain and prefer to leave. Slashing and stabbing, pretty easy to injure yourself too. 

[Old Croc]

We've had at least 4 pythons on our Isaan property in the last several years, a couple in the last month. (4 seen, others not but have left trails) They come after the chickens and have killed a number in their attacks.

The biggest, a reticulated python, was about 13' long. The others were Burmese and varied in size, The smallest was found right outside our door.

The local farmers have come across some very large specimens in jungle areas. They are scared of them and sometimes carry a gun for protection when going through those areas. They are aware they are protected but consider their numbers have become out of control and will now kill them rather than call the removal people.   

For those who say just slice their head off, that is not easy. They are incredibly strong, thick skinned and very hard to kill. I saw one still alive the next morning even with 2 rifle shots in its head.
