What to do when a snake tries to eat you: 1.Lay there and wait for someone to help you, don't do anything to stop the snake on your own. 2. Make an obvious statement about how you are eaten by a snake to distract others from the fact that you're enjoying it. 3. If the snake reaches your waist, put your hands inside it's mouth and attempt to push the snake off of you. It's important that you put your hand INSIDE the snakes mouth to do this, don't grab the snakes head.
