I want to post something that's been a terrible myth for 20 plus yrs. Hulk was NEVER choked out by a snake. A clown was telling a story. A story that we do not know is true or not and in this story, he mention Hulk getting choked. No proof or anything of any of this being true and we take stories with a grain of salt. Here is the comic...

There's another instance of him being choked iirc; can't remember where I saw it though. It's Savage, and an older comic.
WBN (in his original, weaker form) choked him out, too.
Original Ghost Rider (Blaze) with his limited powers burned all the oxygen around him.
Gas worked plenty of times.
And so on...

Captain Nate, a Hulk fan, asks: A Snake? A SNAKE?!?!?!
JOE CASEY: This one'll haunt me forever. This is going back a ways,
but I'll try and explain ... I had two things in mind when it came to that particular scene. I�m sure it won�t make a bit of difference to the fans, but since you asked � The first and most important thing was Bruce Banner's grief over the death of his wife. Even when he was Hulked out, I still wanted it to affect him. I wanted both Bruce and the Hulk to be sick with grief. If you've ever lost a loved one then you know that, sometimes, it's an effort to even breathe. The sadness can be *that* crippling. The secondary thing about the snake was ... well, I hate to lay blame, but my good friend, Ed McGuinness, just drew that damn snake too SMALL.
My vision of Princess Python's snake comes from the classic AVENGERS #60 (the wedding of Yellowjacket and the Wasp). In that issue, the great John Buscema drew the snake thicker than an oak tree trunk. It was massive. *That's* the snake that I thought could cut off a GRIEVING Hulk's air supply. Could that snake have taken out the Hulk if he was operating at 100%? No way. He would�ve ripped that thing apart like King Kong in the �76 remake. But that's not what the situation was. And, unfortunately, Ed drew the snake about as thick as a rope so, naturally, the readers screamed bloody murder. In hindsight, I don't blame them one bit. Unfortunately, my time machine is broken so I can't go back eight years and fix that particular snafu. Actually, if I *had* a working time machine, there's plenty of things I'd have to fix first before I got to anything comic book-related ...
