Odd, my first thought was that you meant that as a particular kind of compliment.

(just in case some doesn't get it, think chrome and trailer hitch.)


edit to add: oh, I see someone else had the same thought.

well, sure, in the beginning. how do you think i was lured into her lair of hellish matrimony?

Anybody got an idea of scale here? I'd like to know how big the roo is.

Wonder how the snake can breathe at the same time.. :eek3:

while eating, snakes can respirate through a small opening just to the front of the anus.

learn something new in the cellar every day. ;)

Okay...so what if something that wants to eat the snake comes along just after it has finished eating? How does it get away?

v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-ly

It doesn't. Snakes, as I recall, fall into a food induced stupor after they finish eating. Doesn't someone on here have reptile experience? Or was that just iguanas?

Large snakes don't have much in the way of predators. That's how they get to be large.

We have two pythons, one of which is still relatively small. The other is about 4-5 feet long, and won't be growing any bigger.

Usually they don't stray too far from a rock or other hidey-hole, and after eating they'll drag themselves back in before taking their nice, long nap.

I lived with a guy once who had two boa constrictors. They were still around 4' long, so still eating just rats. It seemed every time we fed them - once every 4-5 weeks, there was always somebody who wanted to come over and watch. It was pretty cool to see, actually. For at least a week or so after they ate, they were very lethargic and a little irritable.

Burp. No thanks, honey. I'm still full from that last kangaroo. :dead:

snake would probably LOVE a nice cold Fosters after a kangaroo that big. makes me thirsty just looking at it.

Gentlemen, please! Beware of constrictors. :worried:

Wasn't there a Far Side comic about that? Something about detectives coming into a room that had an alligator, a squid, and a snake all coiled around and eating each other. And I think the alligator had man legs sticking out...

Anyone remember that one? Can't seem to find it on google...

That doesn't seem like a very evolutionarily sound thing to me somehow.
