Anyway, the biggest hazard from these giant snakes would be dealing with the thousands (millions?) of tons of rotting snake meat after it collapses under its own weight and dies. The square cube law sadly puts limits on animal size.

I've been considering a move for a while anyways, so a 400 foot titan boa magically appearing in my state would most likely seal the deal.

On the other hand, if said snake swallowed up a lot of Wall Street investors/brokers and potentially drove people out of the city, it might actually have the positive effect of lowering renting cost and allowing me to snag a nice apartment for a good price. Something similar happened during the pandemic which we called Covid pricing, so titan boa pricing, (we'd likely call this big Snek savings) could be an opportunity.

It would be absolute chaos! A 400 foot long titan boa snake would cause widespread panic and destruction, with people fleeing the area en masse. The snake's huge size would cause significant damage to buildings and other structures, and its presence would also pose a threat to human lives. Emergency responders would be quickly called to the scene, and a massive operation would be launched to try and subdue the snake.

Assuming it doesn't die from being so heavy, then how on Earth would such a huge reptile even be subdued to begin with? Sure, there might be bomber aircraft and fighter jets with missiles, but 400 feet (122 meters) is just so huge that there'd probably be no immediate way to kill it without dropping a bomb large enough that it takes half the city's skyline with it when it explodes.

Considering that half a ton of dynamite was enough to splatter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploding_whale this whale and send chunks of blubber flying half a mile in all directions, it should be more than sufficient to kill a big snake. Again, I'm more worried about the number of dump trucks and bulldozers needed to haul away its carcass before the entire city of New York is up to their knees in maggots.
