    You can strangle somebody with your arm.

    But can you strangle someone with a dead arm? It sounds very different than using a live arm. Without any muscle activation I think you’d be putting a lot more stress on weak points in the snake’s body and it might just tear apart. But I have no first-hand experience strangling people with live or dead arms (or snakes), so I’m just playing armchair murderer here.

      nah if you use the arm like a rod and pull it so it presses on the throat it should be just as good. Just make sure not to point the elbow forward.
