      Yeah, the crowbar method did not seem thought out at all. I’ve handled a few snakes, the largest a friendly olive python, but you can feel that it will crush and kill you so fast if it wants. Should be escaping a snake like that by making it uncomfortable and wanting to leave, not whack it.

    Police and animal control officers used a crowbar to hit the snake on the head until it released its grip and slithered away before it could be captured.

    I love the imagery this produces.

    They must happen fairly often, since I’ve read of two women being killed, and this one invited 6, just in the last few months.
