Talk:Constriction

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

it's not only snake-related! see Asphyxia -- Melaen 13:07, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

Article says the sanke bites and holds on before applying constriction. Is this correct? RJFJR 01:27, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

The article says that snakes don't crush bones, but asphyxiate their prey, and then in the next sentence says they don't asphyxiate their prey, but make their hearts stop beating. Which is true? Also, the only informative section is on snake constriction, which is rather short - it could be moved into the boa page, and then this page could turn into strictly a disambiguation page like it looks like it wants to be?

[edit] Suffication-Is it true??

Discovery Communications made a documentary called Anatomy Of A Snakebite. They did an experiment about constriction and said that instead of sufficating the victim, the snake sueezes you until all your blood is in your head and your eyes may even want to pop out.
