What to do when you encounter a python, how to deal with a python

Python is a large primitive snake, has a wide distribution in tropical and temperate regions of the world, adult python body size can reach 6 10 meters long, such a large size of the general animal does not dare to attack it easily, and the python can quickly entangle the prey through continuous contraction and closure of the body to suffocate the prey. Like other snakes, pythons also rely on "gobbling up" to eat, slowly swallowing the whole prey, at this time the python will choose a relatively safe place to rest and begin to digest the "food".

The python is often the most dangerous time during and after eating, due to the obstruction of the prey, the python is slow to lose the ability to attack, other carnivores can "attack it unprepared", and some horned animals, such as antelope, deer, etc., pythons may be stabbed by the horns when preying and swallowing such animals. It has been reported that a giant python had to flee in a hurry after strangling an antelope and having its jaw pierced by antelope horns after eating.

In addition to being slow in the process of eating, pythons are also afraid of some plants and special smells, such as throwing kudzu vines at pythons can immediately make it stand still, some people have used kudzu vines to trap pythons, and for sweaty smell pythons are also very annoying, so it is best to take out your underwear and throw it over when you encounter a python in the wild to stop its attack.

However, because the python is non-venomous, and will not bite under normal circumstances, not only the whole body of the python is a treasure, the snake meat is rich in protein, all kinds of vitamins and amino acids, snake skin can be made into the strings of erhu or other musical instruments, etc., so humans are the biggest threat to the python. Due to the illegal trade led to the excessive killing of pythons, the current wild population has been very small.

When encountering a python, if you throw kudzu vines and other arrows, the python will immediately stand still, and it is easy to tie up kudzu vines and carry them back. It is rumored that pythons are also afraid of the smell of sweat, and when they encounter pythons, they throw away their dirty and smelly underwear, which can also make pythons fall to the ground.

Although the python is strong, it is a non-venomous snake and does not bite. They generally have limited mobility after eating, and although they look scary, they also have things to fear, such as certain plants (such as kudzu vines, grass bitterness, etc.) and certain special smells.

Living environment

Like most snakes, pythons are huge solitary animals. They don't have much social activity. It is only during mating and calving that several pythons of the same species come together. Their bodies are often wrapped around tree trunks or coiled under rocks.

Pythons often swim at night, and with the help of their large vertebrae, they can easily move quickly on the road or on branches close to the ground without attracting attention. Unlike most snakes, pythons move in a straight line, mainly due to their heavier weight.

The python's vertebrae are easy to move and have a large number of elastic joints separated from each other, and the abdominal scales have good adhesion, which means that they can use their flat and wide abdominal scales to grip the ground tightly like a bulldozer, pushing the rest of the body to slide forward in an orderly manner.

There are branches wrapped around its letter to make it relax, if you whistle can also relax the hostility, the python is not poisonous, hit the snake 3 inches.

First of all, you have to prepare a sharp knife. Carry a knife with you before entering the tropical jungle, which should not be too much.

Second, lie down on the spot with your body pressed against the ground before the python gets its hands on you. The aim is to prevent being entangled, otherwise it would be dangerous. Holding a knife in your hand, holding your head in both hands and spreading your arms out, makes the volume of your head look large.

At this time, the python cannot be entangled, so it will choose to devour. Because the head is so large, it will start to devour from the feet. When it devours your thighs, sit up and use all your strength to cut the knife through the side of the python's body, the deeper and longer the cut, the better, and don't be afraid to cut yourself.

This is the method taught by the British special forces.

Uncle Bai made a "silence" gesture before quietly stepping back, motioning for us to do the same. I just retreated to my backpack and had a plan: if I took the sulfur out of my bag and sprinkled it on the snake, wouldn't it be okay to drive it away?

I couldn't help but feel some joy in my heart, but then I put away my joy and carefully went to get the sulfur. Uncle Bai saw what I was going to do, so he deliberately made some subtle sounds to attract the python. I unzipped it, quietly turned out the sulfur, and was about to sprinkle it on the python, only to hear my sister can't help but shout "Help!"

The python turned its head suddenly, shrunk the upper half of its body into a ball, and let out a "bang" sound, and then the ugly head jumped quickly towards his sister. I hurriedly spilled the brimstone!

Generalize.

Basically, 99% of snakes can apply the theory of scaring snakes, that is, in the wild woodland, artificially creating some sounds and movements, it is true that most species of snakes can be repelled, but not absolutely. Different snake species have different characteristics in different regions.

Like the African mamba snake (there are two varieties of black mamba and green mamba), it will actively chase and attack. There are also king cobras (also in China), when they are not provoked, it is effective to startle the snake, but once they are provoked, they also take the initiative to attack. Zhu Yeqing I have encountered, I didn't want to catch up, I was chased, I was killed, but I was scared lightly, it was still daytime.

There are also several types of temper-busting snakes in Australia (Taipan or something), and rattlesnakes in the Americas are very aggressive at night.

Generally, when encountering a snake in China, it is generally not a temper tantrum, first of all, do not scream and jump, face the snake and slowly retreat, leaving more than 5 times the length of the snake before running. Also, if the snake really chases you, don't run around, you can't outrun the snake, it has hundreds of legs. If there is no tool longer than the snake around, you can quickly take off your coat, twist it into a cloth stick, divert the snake's attention, or whip the snake (I just beat the bamboo leaf green with a cloth stick made of coat), take advantage of the snake's distraction, leave more than 10 times the distance is basically safe, and then leave quickly, the snake's sense of smell is very sensitive.

It is still necessary to advocate the protection of wild animals, and snakes attack to protect themselves or hunt. Leave some room for the snakes.

When we are not scared, we can wait a little longer and let it go after we are walking. If you are afraid that you have to go, then run in a circle or in a zigzag, because the snake will not be able to turn.

You ignore it, act as if nothing happened, and let it move freely. Generally, it won't hurt you as long as you don't hurt it. In fact, it is also afraid of you, as long as it finds you, it will run away in time.

As soon as you touch it, it will fight back instantly! So we found that it, as long as it is in a safe environment, does not hurt each other, and does its own thing, it will definitely have the best of both worlds, and will not lose both!

Stay away from it and avoid irritating it. Snakes usually avoid movement when they hear it.

Don't move, wait for the snake to walk away on its own.

Either kill it or stay away from it.

<> python will hang all living creatures, it is recommended to play dead, it will not attack you, but slowly swallow you, the process is long but bitter, the digestive juices are corroded by pH, but at most in a day you will be allergic and stinging, do not move.

If you're in the wild, you can't even bring a knife, right? Protect your head with a knife, if it starts from scratch, the mouth may crush your head, and you will choke.

Don't move, but fix the knife to your head so that it can't get out of your mouth, only start with your feet.

The more it swallows your body, the less it will delight its enemies. Importantly, the parts that contain your body can no longer be used to hang you.

The snake relies on the mucous membranes at the corners of its mouth to keep its mouth from tearing, and all you have to do is cut along the corners of its mouth when it can't hang you! Be sure to be quick and accurate, and it is recommended to push the knife from the corner of the mouth to the tail with both hands, and it is best to cut it.

If you don't have enough knives or you don't have enough strength, pick open the scales on its head and stab it hard, then crush its brain.

Remember, if something happens your knife may stab itself in order to assassinate it, you have no choice.

It takes time for a wound to become infected, but a python kills you in less than ten minutes ......It doesn't have to be pestered. For pythons, as long as Liang erects, the prey has no ability to resist. It will devour it, and if it says to play dead, according to the previous one, it is valid.

Whether you can live or not is a prerequisite for the big cover. The first thing to look at is the vitality of the person. The second is the time when the python swallows the person into the stomach......Pythons can swallow animals, but it is basically not swallowed alive, but first entangles the prey to death or loses its ability to move, and then swallows it slowly, and most of them are swallowed first.

Before being swallowed, people have been entangled and fainted to death, and after being swallowed into the belly of a snake, they cannot get oxygen, so they naturally cannot wake up. Within seconds of the python contracting, the prey's blood pressure begins to drop, the heart beats slowly, and when the circulatory system is not functioning properly, the heart stops working due to damage.
