My Taiwan beauty seems to be a pretty intent constrictor. But I always make fun of my mandarin rats for mauling their prey into submission and then swallowing it half alive. Seems pretty similar to what my hognose does now that I think about it. Maybe there's something to that. It would make sense for an animal that's only mildly venomous to still use constriction to protect themselves from struggling prey though.
