An adult man with any experience woulda had that off her in a matter of a minute — & he shouldn't have needed the handler's tool (he could've been much faster & put himself in a better position of control if he'd used his hand). She obviously kept her cool & knew what she was doing (& knew she wasn't in too much danger cuz it went low for her leg), but she really was way too kind to that snake & it cost her.

And, yeah, she obviously didn't treat that thing w/ due respect early. Maybe she thought she had good reason to trust it — but man she had it very wrong. Never seen a clip of someone in a captivity situation just full-on attacked by a constrictor so large.

With the incompetency of her backups, though, she's VERY lucky the thing didn't go high — cuz I don't know at what point that lady woulda screamed to go for it's head w/ all due force. And I kinda doubt that pansy guy of hers coulda killed it in a timely manner if it came to that.

Hopefully the camera guy was at least competent (& maybe he was).
