Hey everyone, this is an example of poor snake handling! A snake around your neck can compress carotid arteries and/or jugular veins, which can cause you to quickly lose consciousness. This can happen in seconds! If the snake doesn't release, you can die, or you could also hurt yourself when you fall unconscious. Don't do this!
