Now I’m no python expert (ladies) but I did once watch the Jennifer Lopez/Ice Cube classic Anaconda. And I can tell you that it does not seem desirable to come face to face with a giant monster snake. It seems even less desirable to get bit on your arm by one amidst a struggle to take one down. Particularly in the heat of a Florida Everglades summer. I can barely survive a run in our humidity-free heat in Los Angeles, I can’t imagine a fight for my life in that stank swamp heat. It may shock you to hear but the man called Python Cowboy who makes a living fighting literal monsters may in fact be slightly tougher than us all.

At the same time, there may be room for improvement. Rather than fighting the snake to the death, perhaps the Python Cowboy could have learned that music has charms to soothe the savage snake beast:
