i hate snakes. when i was a kid one of my uncles was teaching me how to hunt woodchucks. laying on the grass, a snake slivered over my legs. ever since then i HATE THEM.

not i have seen snakes eat animals, mostly small ones. but with a deer this big, i never expected the snake to down it that fast. do you think it is a fake

I am voting for real. That is what snakes do. They swallow their prey whole and it takes about a week or so to digest. Most snakes eat on a weekly basis. They are built so that their insides expand over the prey. Have to admit, the deer is about as big as I have seen for swallowing whole.

Wow
and people keep them as pets

Definitely a fake. A snake can swallow prey that is larger than its head by dislocating its jaws. It then works its jaws forward one at a time, ie, bottom jaw, top jaw, bottom jaw, lather, rinse and repeat until swallowed. A snake's teeth are curved backwards and this allows them to eat without hands.

The whole process is pretty slow and a snake is not very active until digestion is mostly complete. If you ever have a chance to watch a snake eat, you won't forget it.

They generally coil their prey and crush them so they are mush inside their skins. Snakes later spit out the bones....like eating chicken wings..

Fake...... too fast!

I venture the video is real but it's reversed and the snake is actually regurgitating and the video sped up a little . You can see the guy patting the snake and another holding it's tail.
