Nope - it's the opposite. When a constricting snake catches its prey, it coils tightly around the prey's body. As the victim breathes out, the snake tightens its coils so the animal has difficulty breathing in. This process is repeated a number of times until the prey simply can no longer draw breath, and it suffocates.

The breadth of a boa constrictor can vary, but they typically have a body diameter ranging from about 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) in adults.
