Even a big maccy could choke a small child with a feeding reaction, one of my most placid snakes has done this to me a few times, he is a bit under 1.5m.

Here are some pics i have posted them a few times before probably, but i think ppl should be aware of what they can do especially when little kids are involved.

check how happy he was after, look at that smile my hand isnt normally purple either.
