Newbie-ess & problem

More than likely the little one in the first picture just couldn't finish swallowing and they had been stuck like that for some time. If the snake inside were alive then the one swallowing wouldn't be that calm. They'd still be struggling.

Also, more than likely, since he couldn't finish swallowing the other snake, he regurged it later so it was a complete waste. Plus, it would be pretty traumatic and probably very painful for the snake that is alive to have another snake pulled out of it.

It seems like you just want to fight... why is that? Have we offended you in some way? Maybe I should re-read this thread...

I was at my water garden the other day. One of the fish had an anole sticking out of his mouth. I took it away, but it was dead. I had hoped I could save it. I guess it would have had to have just happened...Then I felt bad for taking away the fish's dinner, too.

I am not so sure I could actually "pull" one of those hatchlings out of the mouth of the other at that point of "swallow". I have seen a young corn "eating" the head of another corn in its deli cup at a reptile expo and that those two were able to be "saved". I think once that snake is down to that point, the owner has come in way too late to save at least the one being swallowed.

Pictures do help us to see the tragic events that can happen in the world. Ever see a defensive driving course video? It's called shock factor for a reason.

Just my two cents.

When they are down that far, they have probably suffocated...
And to try and get it back out will probably kill the diner.
As for the mini mod quip..... They are probably right....

LOL, I love how this thread was resurrected.

I also love how pictures come with it now! We need more pictures, pictures of ghost CSI wisperering in action, pictures of you eating your radioactive meat Susang and anything else fantastic that would make my day go by quicker.

In addition to have likely already suffocated, the stomach acid would like have damaged their eyes and lungs to the point of fatality anyways.

Aye, it seemed pretty clear to me as well, that by the time the pictures were taken- those little eaten snakies were already goners. It's pretty obvious that a snake eating another snake the same size would have trouble fitting the entire thing in its' stomach- which, as you can see with the Amel: he tried REALLY hard, to the point of where you can even see the outline of the dead snakes head protruding from the belly.
