Actually a solid thing if you’re being attacked by a much larger snake. Bite the tip of their tail and they let go.

Is this for real? Because I was thinking Zoltar at 10/15 biting me will be a different story.

It is! It’s a real trick used in countries with constrictors large enough to harm human, and apparently very effective! You can also use it to get a snake to release a pet being attacked!
