That's just as unlikely. Snakes constrict, not choke, their prey. And they don't often do so to prey they can't eat. When they wrap around someone and squeeze, it's to either get warm or to keep from falling off. Pythons usually live in trees, so it's their instinct to always have their tail wrapped tightly around something to keep from falling. When they are killing to eat, they go into a wild frenzy. No way in the world this could happen to someone without waking up someone else in the room. It can get messy and violent, even with rats they can easily handle. With prey they cannot handle, it'd be a real fiasco.
