My brother in law sent me this series of photos of a snake eating a goanna from a mine site in the Pilbara region of north western Australia.

Whenever I see a video or an image of a snake with its snack half inside, I'm subconsciously expecting its mouth to tear apart. Never happens though. Not even with a fucking hippo. Now that's some muscles. Brilliant pics.

Do snakes ever think "Hey, this was a bad idea"

lukeatron · 9 months

Are these pictures out of order is the snake deep throating the lizard? It keeps going in and out.

Vapsyvox · 9 months

I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE SNAKE ENDS AND WHERE THE LIZARD BEGINS, IT'S INFURIATING.

AAAKKKAKKAKK · 9 months

good luck in the bathroom, snake.

sboxle · 9 months

For anyone else is wondering I believe it's a Black-Headed Python. They're non-venomous.

Here are some more details with pictures that look closer to the photographed snake. Including another one feasting on a lizard.

Respect to whomever put the warning flags and triangle out to leave him eat in peace. Around here, any snake in the road would be two-dimensional.

I'm pretty sure that somewhen in 1855, a guy saw a snake eat a goanna and then invented the condom.

Your brother in law must also be a redditor, because this may be the first post this year, but it was posted several times last year.

cat55 · 9 months

i am curious, about how long did this process take?

I can't believe I ate the whole thing.

Whoever suggested the lizard is an iguana... nope, it's a goanna. They get huge. The goanna the snake is eating is a young one.

thelastbeardonearth · 9 months

Looks like a goanna body sock

pikacz · 9 months

now the snake won't have to eat anything for a couple of months. wish that's how it worked for sex for humans

Holy cow, my brother-in-law sent me the exact same photos. In fact, I just posted them 11 hours ago.

darkpaladin · 9 months

Oh no it's up to my toe.

creepy_caterpillar · 9 months

But HOW does the snake move afterwards (to retreat to safety or something)? Not to mention that while eating, it is helpless for several hours, and it must be pretty much helpless also when digesting... So, nature??

When snake eats something, how does it know that it will be able to swallow it? Are there - "Nope, can't go any further..." or "Let this hang out of my mouth for a while." situations?

Funkit · 9 months

must have gotten lucky in the fight, those monitor lizards have massive muscle strength

I have to wonder why it didn't just bite through the inside of the snake...unless the snake already broke all it's bones or already killed it

bumfromthefuture · 9 months

Kinda disturbing...

That'll do, snake. That'll do.

sangai · 9 months

That is a black headed python, i have owned these in the past, they are a carrion/ bird eater. i had one that i could feed raw chicken legs, she would put down between 10-15 chicken legs in a sitting. great snakes if you can find them. docile for the most part get up to 10'...

you can find them in the reptile trade for about 750-1500 usd

Your brother in law disappeared from the rest of the picture. What happened to him?

"hmm, I wonder what a goanna is? Maybe I'll be able to tell by looking at the photos..."

"still not a clue..."
