Not the Smartest of snakes, when it comes to eating (pics)

[Salamander Rising]

Every once in a while one of mine will eat backwards, battle wits with rats legs or take their fresh kill for a swim.

Ball Pythons, quirky eaters I tell yah.

Last week my Boa attempted to drown both himself and the rat he had clenched in his coils.

I reached in and lifted him up when tiny bubbles started floating out of his nostrils.

[but by golly, he didn't let go of that dead rat!]

Snakes are all insane.

I guess that's why I get along with them.

Just wait until she eats one folded in half, rofl.

OMG...my Boa did that with a jumbo rat and it took him 15 minutes to gag it down.

I was helpless...I couldn't pull it out or I'd break his teeth and when I tugged on the tail to encourage him to reposition it, he just gripped it tighter.

By the time it was over, I was a nervous wreck.

Him?

He just yawned and went to bed...all lumpy looking.

Sheesh.
