Answer:

They attack in an ambush, wrapping themselves around their prey and crushing it - squeezing tighter as the victim exhales. They kill by suffocation or cardiac arrest within minutes. Pythons swallow their food whole. Their jaws are connected by very flexible ligaments so they can stretch around large prey.

A constricting snake like a boa or a python kills its prey by suffocation. It uses the momentum of its strike to throw coils around its victim's body. Then, it squeezes. Every time the prey exhales, the snake squeezes a little more tightly.

Conventional wisdom held that pythons and anacondas suffocate their prey. Instead, the predators cut off their victims' blood supply, a new study says. Boa constrictors were long thought to kill their prey by suffocation, slowly squeezing the life out one ragged breath at a time.
