This may be one of the dumbest threads I've ever seen in my life.
Cool pic, I remember seeing it before but it just popped up on Facebook a few days ago too.

I feel worse for this Retic than I do for that ball python.. Sorry if that "offends" anyone.

Only a Retic owner would understand why. And no, I'm not partial to them or anything.

However, the "...LOL" at the bottom of the picture I found very distasteful.
I could be wrong but, I doubt many people found the joke and/or photo funny.
I find it hilarious. What makes it even funnier is that albino BPs were going for at least a couple thousand each when that pic was taken. When I first seen it, albinos were around $2,500-3,000 each, and who knows how old it was by the time I initially found it.

I hoping your attitude gets deleted.
King cobras are ophidiovores. End of story.

Like everyone else said, nature's nature, I don't think a snake in the wild would care if it ate a morph Ball Python or a mouse. However, this could've been posted in a better manner.
Honestly, I thought the "Albino Lovers... Don't look!" was going to be someone showing off a really nice looking albino, not an albino being eaten by a cobra.

It is a neat picture, I personally like it. Ive fed numerous rough greens, garter's, rat snakes etc to kings at my last job, so it's not a big deal to me.....it is nature.

I don't have an issue with the picture in the least bit. Then again, I understand that snakes are predators and something must die for them to survive. I don't live in the fantasy land that frozen food magically appear out of thin air.
I raise meat goats. When one of the breeders die, I do an at home autopsy, skin it, remove the head (I practice taxidermy as a hobby), and feed it to the guardian dogs. It doesn't matter if it's a breeder I've had for years, one I've raised from being a newborn, or how attached I was to that particular animal. It boils down to the fact that it isn't cheap to feed two 150 pound dogs that roam 2+ miles each day.
I'd probably do the exact same thing that the owner of the cobra did. Certainly. It'd be preferable for the snake eater to eat mice, but as we all know, animals don't always do what we want.
Frankly, I find parts of this thread hypocritical. We feed mice, rats, rabbits, and in some cases poultry, pigs, and other livestock to our reptiles. All of which can be pets. When someone who owns these prey animals gets offended, we say "well, our snakes have to eat, too". Yet someone posts a picture of a snake that naturally eats other snakes and people get their panties in a twist. Makes me laugh.
