Actually, snakes have VERY sharp teeth (unless the owners did something to them). It would thus hurt not at all as much as you might expect.
The scare, however…
Boa constrictors do not have venomous fangs, so they have nothing to defang. To humans, they are completely harmless. They have tiny but sharp teeth, just enough to break the skin – just to keep what they’ve bitten in their mouth. Additionally, their bites are very weak, about like being pinched by a human hand — all they can do is break the skin and scare the model silly. I’ve had a 9-ft boa (something larger than the one pictured) bite me; it bled like crazy for less than a minute and stopped, the teeth are just that small.
Usually, boas born and raised in captivity are quite calm and docile. I can only imagine that this is a wild-caught boa, and thus fearful. Otherwise, she must have been wearing one strange perfume for the snake to mistake her for food. With the snakes I’ve worked with over the years, I’ve only been bitten by accident, when snakes have missed the food item I’ve offered them (on tongs) and nipped my hand instead.
Fortunately, applying any alcohol to the snake’s mouth is a good way to get a stubborn biter to let go. Most will let go immediately once they’ve realized you are not food.
Wow, thanks for all that! I was wondering what made it bite like that. Otherwise, I feel bad for the snake, it seems like it must be stressful for the poor thing.
I have an albino corn snake, and a ball python. I’ve been bitten by my corn snake’s parents, and sortof gnawed on by my corn snake. Two drops of blood, wipe them away, no mark after that.
Corn snake’s mom was slightly more aggressive (not tamed as a baby), and left a small bruise on my mom once, but blood? Nah.
They can squeeze, but you can get them off of you, the ball python as well despite more muscle on her.
Snakes are likely to strike if they feel threatened or harmed. Usually, they’re lazy, especially constrictors. (Cobras and rattlers are venomous and known to be aggressive – no one should have a venomous snake as a pet anyway). The one time my corn snake bit me besides when he was 5 inches long and a newly hatched fellow, I had been holding him a long time, and he slowly opened his mouth, and put it on the palm of my hand gently. A “I am done now” sort of warning. Pretty polite, I think.
I would seriously recommend a corn snake or ball python to anyone before recommending they have a dog or a cat. They’re gentler, less likely to cause harm, less mess, and they aren’t demanding, but appreciate attention if tamed well.
As for the snake in this picture, it looks like she was lying on top of it (check the last split second of the video – it seems to be under her back). Can’t blame the snake for biting if it is being squished! How can a snake say that it is upset directly? Bite, sometimes wrap.
Ah, yes, Sonya Kraus. She’s a German tv starlet, mostly famous for her boobs ^^ That accident with the Boa Constrictor happened in 2007 during a photo shoot. They said that Sonya rolled over and accidentally almost crushed the snake, which then attacked. Quite painful. Ouchie.
Regarding the bite: so, in other words, not entirely unlike our own.
Honestly, I don’t blame anyone who has a snake for a pet. They’re cool enough, even if I myself would never put down the money to own or care for one. However, in my humble opinion, the last time it should be out of its cage or whatnot is when you’re having sexytimes.
I believe you are confusing snakes and monitor lizards. Boa constrictors have relatively clean mouths, though one should wash and apply antibiotics to any animal bite, including human bites!
However, a number of monitor lizards, most notoriously the komodo dragon, have developed a specialized colony of bacteria in their mouths, causing incredible infections with their septic bites. This suits their hunting style, in which the lizard will bite, then stalk and wait for their prey item to weaken before attacking again.
i believe that scientists have also found that at least some of the monitors also produce a poison in their mouths, but have not developed the hollow fangs for efficient delivery…. is this off topic yes, does it matter to the story… no..
I have to at least give her credit for not grabbing it to pull it away. The snake could have been injured by doing so. It’ll let go when it’s ready. And as others have said, it looks defensive as there was no “strike” before the bite or apparent attempt to “wrap.” Beautiful snake.
NIPPLE!…… i mean first..
anyone know where the original vid for this is?
The womans name is Sonia (or Sonja, i’m not sure) Kraus.
I remember watching that on TV, she pulled the snake off herself.
THAT had to hurt. As well as the gif.
I thought for sure it would be her tongue. And she would have had it coming.
As I said previously, this place needs some sort of filtering system.
We all have our own private filtering system – they’re called eyelids and they can be activated or deactivated in the blink of an eye.

Did I just watch a person die?
That’s not a venomous snake, so this, while painful, isn’t really dangerous.

Don’t they usually de-fang them?
that would require taking out 100s of teeth that grow back….its not worth their time

She did appear to be lying on the snake when she pulled up. Probably not a good idea.
Serves her right then! Sheesh, poor snake!
Dumb b!tch deserves it
Who think being with a dangerous animal is sexy?
Probably anyone who is in an abusive relationship.
Boa constrictors are not dangerous (at least no more so than a domestic cat or dog). If you accidentally hurt or startle any animal, it might bite.
Is that Monty Python?
*hears prople yelling “boooooo!!!”*
Thash wat I like about thish plashe. Losha booze!
Boas may not be poisonous, but the bacteria in their mouths would have meant a lovely course of antibiotics for her.
My philosophy on snakes: They can stay over there, and I’ll stay over here. (Unless they’re garter snakes. Those are cute.)
I love nature, just as long as there is a couple inches of glass between me and it.
Regarding the bite: so, in other words, not entirely unlike our own.

this is why you have to keep your snake well fed.
What a dumb bitch. Nuff said
Boa constrictors teeth help them hold the prey while they wrap…they can do more than hurt just a little
