Nothing so dramatic. I remember more about while it was coiled than how it got there. So I am not really sure how it happened exactly. The first thing that I clearly remember is me holding her head and her coils around my stomach and waist just below my diaphragm. As soon as the first coil went around I started pushing the coils down (with he head still in my hands). The snake was trying to adjust so i kept downward pressure. By the time it got the last coil where it wanted it to give the Big Squeeze, I had it below center mass around my hips and legs. Of course, that all took place in probably 5-7 seconds. In my experience, boids throw coils and after two or three are situated securely, then they give the Big Squeeze and start applying real pressure. Granted if I had been shirtless (just a bad idea around animals in general), there would have been friction that may have prevented pushing it down. From there, just unwind it from the head down. What I did was actually once I got a couple feet free, I put a stool between us so as i unwrapped a bit, she started wrapping the stool. Once a coil was around the stool, she thought that was my leg and changed her plan. That poor stool never knew what hit it
So nothing too dramatic, it is just a matter of knowing how to work with large boids. If an anaconda is wrapped around your neck, you did something REALLY wrong.
