Well, here in NC. It would have been a death sentence for this rat snake if he was in someone else's yard. Not only that, he would have been labelled as a Cottonmouth because every snake that is dark in NC is a Cottonmouth. (Sick and tired of hearing this)

Yes, very! The snake took HOURS to get this down. It was ridiculous. I didn't think I was going to find him in the dark. I was checking on him about every 20-30 minutes and trying to take a picture each time to show the progression.

Yes, birds are all feathers but that rat snake wasn't very big. It just looked amazing that he was able to eat it though.

Yeah, I am sure he was in hiding for probably the rest of the month or the rest of the summer on that feeding. He hit the jackpot...lol

That is incredible! No matter how many times I feed my snakes I'm always amazed at how much smaller the meal looks after they've swallowed it. :P

That is very cool ! Thanks for sharing these pics !

That is just too awesome!!

Just came across this while trying to calm my fears of possibly giving to a large a prey to Igbo. This pretty much did it. Really great photos.

Best story of the day.

And that's a capitol period by the way.

That is incredible. Thank you so much for sharing! I agree, this should be published in a herp book.
