Can I play?

My Python curtus female finishing a light snack.


I know I've posted this pic on the boards before but this is the only decent feeding pic I have.

Take care

Nice pic guys. At the moment i am living in Norway and the rules about having a snake is very strickt here so for now i only have a Scorp and a Tarantulla.

I Have a farm in South-Africa and when i was there last time (around April 2005) i saw a Python (Around 4 Meters long) maybe more eating a Impala.

And for those who dont know what an Impala is here is a pic:

so as you understand it was quite a experience seeing the whole Impala going into the mouth of the Python :D

Not as impressive as some of the photos in this thread (there is some seriously impressive photography here), but I fed my ghost corn yesterday and took a few pictures. :)
So here they are (I don't know why the one is so tiny):

Not an uncommon thing to happen, especially on hairless feeders.

Nice pics everyone!
So if a snake at a nice pink hairless human they would go butt first? ;)

Constricting snakes often grab their prey from behind and constrict. I am told that it is to keep the prey's mouth away from their face until it is subdued. They usually turn it around after killing it and swallow it head first.

Wow! It's amazing how they can eat such a large mouse/rat. I would love a snake, but no more room left in this place.
