1. It must have been for quite some time because her body had already started to turn pale.
2. We were shocked to see the lady was tied down on the floor with the python wrapping around (her).
3. It was a python, a big one. I saw a bite mark on her leg but [knew] there might be some elsewhere too.

1. We're too much hassle for the snakes and generally fight back.
2. This could have been as simple as accidentally cornering the animal so that it didn't feel safe due to its exit route being blocked, or involved accidental or intentional physical harm to the python.
3. Pythons use their immense size to overpower prey, and as such, are vulnerable to being wounded during feeding by anything with sharp claws, horns, or that can wield bladed weapons.

1. The snake just shot forward and bit me.
2. I fought with it for quite a while.
