Comment on I’m watching something on tv and a dude strangled another dude with rattle snake. Is that possible? What’s the tensile strength of a snake?

Fresh roadkill would probably hold, but if the snake had been dead for more than a few days, it would be been a much different scene involving burst intestines

He picked it up immediately but it was unclear how much time had passed from when he picked it up to when he caught up with the guy. I’d say probably still fresh enough. Rigor might be setting in.

  Unless he hung on to that dead snake for many hours rigor isn’t going to be relevant.
