    I used to use rubbing alcohol on my pet snake’s nose if he accidentally latched onto me instead of his food. I don’t have any idea if that would work on snakes that kill by constriction though

      Fair enough, seems a handy enough trick.

      In that case, I’d probably carry around a super soaker water gun loaded with some strong alcohol, and just hope I’d be able to shoot it at a distance before it gets close enough to wrap around me.

      Could also in a pinch light the alcohol on fire as a crude flamethrower, packing a double punch…
