Snake eating lunch...

[darkangel]

Here's Lucipher eating a big ass Rat! I'm going to try to upload the videos but I think they came out dark. Going to try to fix them in Windows Media Player later. Enjoy!

I do find it fascinating to watch snakes eat animals. And when they shed their skin.

It took him a long time to get Fuzzy the rat down but it was cool watching him eat it. I've seen him shed too and that's cool to watch as well!

sweeeeeeeeeet

Lucipher thought so LOL! :24:

Looks like he enjoyed it. Snakes eating things is an art form.

Yeah he struck at it as soon as we tossed Fuzzy in the crate! It was awesome to watch. But it took him a long time to get it down. And for being such a big rat he really didn't bubble up as much as I thought he would. He's quite content now digesting Fuzzy in his aqaurium...

was the rat already dead?

Nope he won't eat dead rats. We went to Petsmart and picked out the biggest Rat they had. They stuck him in a box and as soon as we dropped Fuzzy in the crate he squeezed him til he died which took a while then he started to suck him down. The video I can't figure out how to brighten up. It's loading up right now on Youtube.

interesting...how long before he regurgitates the bones?

 

[darkangel]

Ok here's the video. Sorry it's so dark but I had to take it with a cell phone and for the life of me can't figure out how to brighten it. Damn!

He doesn't regurgitate the bones. He might crap out a big fuzzball but that's about it...

That is infinitely cool! :thumbup

Thanks Zirc! Sorry I couldn't get a better video for you.

Thanks Zirc! Sorry I couldn't get a better video for you.

Better luck next time!

 

[darkangel]

Better luck next time!

I should have taken the video with my camera instead but it won't hold that long of a video. I didn't want to feed him outside just in case he got loose you know?

Are snakes jaw bones like nearly disconnected to their skulls because that seems to me the only logical way that they can eat things that big.

:nod: They can dislocate their jaw when swallowing large prey.

Makes sense.

Yeah their jaw bones disconnect and are hinged...
