Might work on venomous snakes but won’t work on the big coluboid snakes.

Once a large constrictor has struck and is constricting, the only way to stop it is to break it’s concentration. The best and most reliable way to do that is to make what is in it’s mouth taste really, really bad. Listerine, alcohol, vinegar usually works very well.

Putting a bullet in the snake will cause thrashing and will usually end up killing the animal being constricted that much faster.

Most people don’t understand just how powerful large constrictors are. Death throes of these animals can be quite violent and last a long time.

Fire trumps and avoids the ‘death throes’.........a BGQ lighter will act upon the snakes instinctual self preservation reflex. Doesn’t take much. Your mileage will not vary.
