What Do Big Constrictors Eat in Wild?
ok, i know u big snake owners feed rabbits to your captive Burms and Retics and such. but what would big constrictors like these eat in the wild?
there was the the python that swallowed an antelope the other day. the rancher called in a snake catcher to remove the big snake and it regurgitated it in defense and to aid in escape. vid and story here: https://www.yahoo.com/news/blergh-wh...160500922.html
well today, another African Rock Python is making the rounds on the interwebz: another African Rock Python was filmed eating a Hyena.
Nope. Nope.
Nope, nope, nope.
This is just not my vibe, as intriguing as it might be.
A Dutch web designer on holiday in Kenya found himself watching a gory situation, where a hyena was being devoured by a python.
Of course he filmed it and no doubt, it’s the perfect example of Mother Nature being as brutal as brutal comes.
yep.
full story and vid here: http://www.2oceansvibe.com/2017/03/1...-expect-video/

i also recall another wild python eating a big porcupine awhile back. that meal didn't turn out so well as it exploded and killed the snake. quills everywhere. big Australian pythons are known to eat Kangaroo's and Wallabies.
anyway i guess big, wild constrictors will eat anything they can overpower, kill and swallow.
RIP Mamba

I am pretty sure they will eat whatever fits. The burms are eating deer (the deer are relatively small here) and alligators in the everglades.

Monkeys of various species tend to be a top prey item for most big snakes.

Lots of snakes will eat bats, they are simply flying rodents* after all.
edit to add - I know they aren't rodents, I'm just being silly
But anyways, yes, search you tube for snake eating bats and there are a few neat videos of different snakes catching them in flight

Yep. Granted BRB's aren't part of the "giant" group but researchers documented a wild female dining on a vampire bat down in Ecuador.

Really the answer to "What do the giant snakes eat?" is "Whatever they want!"
