Ever heard of this?

My friend send me this picture today (usually when my friends see something snake related they send it to me). Anyways, i wanted to see if you people have heard of this happening or if its even true.

unfortunately, yes it does happen. but it is almost always caused by poor husbandry/care.

Wow. Thats extremely sad. So this happens if they get too hot? That would explain why the snake was in the water dish right?

I read somewhere recently that it's more likely to occur in cannibalistic snakes like king snakes (although that could seriously be an urban myth, I wonder if anyone has ever looked into it?).

yes, and exactly. :(

I volunteer at a zoo and one of our milk snakes did this. He was alright in the end but is still pretty scarred up.

I'm disgusted at the person filming this and finding it humourous.

Was it because of heat?

I mean, I'm sure there's no way to safely intervene and stop the snake... But to just stand there and film it while laughing about it... 😞
