Python grabs Thai woman, squeezes her two hours before she can be freed

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.

fuh...huh...huh...huh...huck that....

Put a bit of rubbing alcohol/hand sanitizer on their snoot and they will back right off.

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.
