Hello there. I have just aquired a new burm on Sunday. She is 7ft. I also have two Boas, one of whom is also 7ft. I wont take them out unless there is someone else in the room as the general rule over here in scotland is one person to every 5ft of snake as it can be dangerous to handle something that big alone. As you were saying about a full grown adult being able to release themselves from a large snake, Im not so sure as I have had experience of the strength of these animals and I needed help, Im 6ft 4" and 200lbs. There has been quite a few people killed by burms and boas and its because of the fact that they are so strong, also the length of the larger ones too is a problem, as by the time you get one end off you, the other end has coiled round another part of you.
