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
Maybe it's enough to be highly intoxicated when outdoors. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
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...
Cue pissed-off flaming snek coming at you fast...
Damn, you're right. Welp, guess I'll bring my chainsaw too..
All these assume that you'll see the snake before it latches onto you.
Very true..
