Theoritical situation
one of the T's in my sig escaped, (assume they are all adult) and I couldnt find it.
Some time later I had one of the snakes on my sig out on the floor and the escaped T was hiding nearby under the sofa
what would happen if the snake got too close and the T stuck from under the sofa and bit the snake?
Would the snake die?

I haven't lost a T and dont plan to, i'm just wondering what would happen.

Use any T and any snake from my sig for the example, or tell me what could happen for all of them if you want.

would imagine its 50/50, venom will affect different organisms differntly, what will kkill a human wont neccessarily kill a mouse.
It depends on the venom strength and affect on reptilian anatomy, thats also species dependant

they'd probably both do one...if any of the snakes were -12" and adult t's then the snake would be fair game as food.
i dont know many snakes that would eat the spider, because they certainly wouldnt be able to constrict it..the arboreal t's would just climb i presume..

it depends. if it was a constrictor againsr a t the snake would win easily. the t would be suffocatted, they only have little book lungs. but im sure ur cobalt blue would give most snakes a good battl

spiders are cold blooded so i dontthink your snakes would go for them, as most snakes only see heat,

I think your right technically, BUT i dont beleive for a minut the snake would defend itself.
A snake that gets frieghtened only wants to escape, bew the fact of it being an anaconda vs Jaguar with its teeth embedded into the snake.
The snake wouldnt even try constricitng the spider, that wont be on its mind at all.
I feel the only way the snake would win would be by considence of it thrashing about and rolling onto te spider in such a way to cause damage.
I cant see a snake even tying to constrict a spider, iv not seen it before iv seen many snakes being munched by an array of different predators and very rareyl would the snake constrict as a defence...
out of the snakes and spiders i have, i dont think i own a snake that would/could beat a goliath, i have 4 royal pythons, 2 boas, 3 corns none are adult though and the biggest is a 3.5ft boa. i would put the success rate of the spider against my biggest boa at about 7 out of every 9 fights, with the daeths being due to the snakes thrashing about. Your talking 1inch+ fangs against a snake with pins for teeth, i think the snake is most likely to bite you in defence.

PS, the booklungs ar such that the chance of a snake suffocating it is neigh on impossible, the booklungs are a slow release process where the oxygen is slowly distributed around the body suffocating in the mammalian sense is impossible. Bare in mind they can stay submerged for great lengths of time.
The spiders downfall to this situation would be the fact of slow, and exhaustive energy, they will tire incredibly fast in comparison.
I think the likelyhood with a constriction would simply be that the spider pops, lol
