If it's truly going after prey, it usually strikes at the head and wraps around the body and it's all done in less than a second. If it's a defensive strike, it just strikes and doesn't hold on or try to constrict. When it constricts, it's in a frenzy and trying to kill. They can squeeze pretty tightly when just trying to hang on and keep from slipping off whatever is holding them, like a tree branch or person's arm.
