Damn. Is the snakes entire body length just one digestive tract? I mean, HTF does it digest something that is basically its full body length??

@Zookeeper Gabe I need some snake anatomy lessons?

A visual is much easier to understand

Nice but that almost does not make sense based on the length of that snake just swallowed.

Put in proportion to us, it would be like starting with 1/3rd of the meal below the stomach and already deep down in the lower intestines and 1/3 up in the throat area while only the middle 1/3rd was in the stomach and actually being digested.

It really looks like that snake bit off more than he could chew. Or digest. Hmmm??

 

[Zookeeper Gabe]

Their stomach can expand quite a bit, if you google pictures you can find snakes that look like they would explode from their meals. This actually doesn’t happen as well some times and both animals die

I have some that live in my vivariums, but beyond that not a lot.

From the research I've done, they look to be fairly simple to care for. I think I might give it a go. Do you know what species you have?

Oh, and I came across this.
Australian Black Kites will pick up things on fire carrying it to different locations to flush out prey.

haha wow.

Natures fire fighters.

And yes, starting small fires often is one of the best ways to prevent big uncontrollable fires later. When you are too good at putting out every small fire as they get started you will one day end up only with massive fires you cannot put out. It is inevitable.

I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't that big arm out of that little hole

Some sort of tiny species, probably came in on the plants in my dart frog tank. Basically if you can keep tropical plants alive they should be fine. I like them because they help keep my terrarium clean

edit: @JBSchroeds the video won’t load for me but I think that’s the video of the black tree monitor reaching through to grab the grub. One of my friends actually did some cool research on that and published it.

Try pushing F12 then F5 if you want to see video's like in your browser.

That works for me. Also for some twitter vid's that don't load.

You guys were talking about aquariums.

My parents moved to the countryside like 10 years ago. My father is the type of guy that would grow anything he can.

A couple of years ago he built a pond. Nothing too fancy but is pretty cool:

Under construction:

Finished:

2.0 version with a net covering it because the birds hunted the fishes:

He really loves those guys.

Yup, that's the clip. If a simple refresh doesn't work you can try CTRL+F5, that clears your computer's cache of the page and reloads the whole page from scratch. It can fix a lot of wonky website behavior.

I got to feed a giant panda at the ATL zoo named Ling Ling and it was cool. They are bigger than I thought up close.
