well its pretty much common sense. constrictor. Hmmmm... well i wonder if it constricts its prey and then eats it The constrictor snakes like the Boas,Pythons,Anacondas,Eryxs..all these snakes are powerfully built,since their bodies are made up of single muscle fiber straight head to tail. A mouth capable of flexing more than 180 degrees,the independently movable two halves of the lower jaw,the inbent teeth to carry food inside only,the highly movable skull bones.maxilla and mandible from each other...All these adaptation make these snakes extremely suitable to swallow large prey even more than their body size.The prey items devoured thus are constricted unless the breathing stops.Death ensues due to asphyxia to be swallowed whole later on by these snakes.

altough to be exact they wrap their coils around the prey items and squeeze every time the prey trys to take a breath. eventually the heart stops from lack of oxygen in the system and the constrictor proceeds to swalaw its prey whole with 'jaw walking'.
