A girl and her snek watching TV

It takes a long time to suffocate someone, several minutes... I highly doubt the snake could kill a child in "seconds"... It's possible but animals don't die fast under normal circumstances.

Really the only way I could see it killing someone in seconds is if it cracked ribs and one happened to puncture the heart, even if it crushed the wind pipe it would still take several minutes for a child to die. Even cutting off the blood supply the brain can survive for about 6 minutes without oxygen (from the blood supply)...

Unless it crushed the kid so hard it cracked a rib that punctured the heart and the kid bled out, even that would take a couple minutes...

Hell even if you cut someones head off they're not dead in seconds, there is no coming back from that but the brain isn't "dead" for several minutes if you could some how reattach the cut off head in a few minutes it would be possible to survive.

With that being said I still don't think its smart to fuck with big snakes since it will probably take several minutes to get the fucking thing off then you can die.
