I am almost certain it is impossible to kill a big boa constrictor. Poke the eff out of its eyes maybe?
Best Snake with a movie named after it: Anaconda.
King snake eats other snakes
Lampropeltis means "shiny shield" (from Greek ???????, "shine" + ?????, "small shield"), a name given to them in reference to their dorsal scales. The majority of kingsnakes have quite vibrant patterns on their skins. Kingsnakes use constriction to kill their prey and tend to be opportunistic when it comes to their diet; they will eat other snakes (ophiophagy), including venomous snakes, lizards, rodents, birds and eggs. The common kingsnake is known to be immune to the venom of other snakes and to eat rattlesnakes, but is not necessarily immune to the venom of snakes from different localities. The "king" in the name (as with the king cobra) references its taste for other snakes.
