Yeah, that’s near the limit. The rule of thumb is one grown man per 3 meters of snake for every operation — feeding, cleaning, vet care. A 3-meter constrictor, especially a fat-bodied one like a boa or python, is unbelievably strong. A 3-meter boa can wrap around your neck and cut off blood flow to your brain in seconds, and basically nobody is strong enough to prevent it once it starts. I’ve had snakes up to 2 meters long, and even those when wrapped around my arm were not possible to force off without injuring them. I never had to do that, thankfully, just be patient (as my hand got tingly) and give them something more interesting to do. The thing about snakes is — they’re really dumb. They have the bare minimum intelligence that a living stomach needs to crawl around and inhale things. They get food-fixated easily (and human fingers look just like mice to them) and they scare easily. Their reactions to both are the same — squeeze it until it stops moving.
