Comments on: Python Swallowed Zoo Owner’s Head in One Gulp http://www.neatorama.com/2008/10/06/python-swallowed-zoo-owners-head-in-one-gulp/ The Neat Side of the Web Fri, 09 Jan 2009 06:33:35 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: meg http://www.neatorama.com/2008/10/06/python-swallowed-zoo-owners-head-in-one-gulp/#comment-1075763 meg Tue, 07 Oct 2008 18:06:59 +0000 http://www.neatorama.com/2008/10/06/python-swallowed-zoo-owners-head-in-one-gulp/#comment-1075763 Sara: Yeah, but how can you accurately judge exactly when an animal needs food? If you're feeding a snake every 6 months, what if it got to be a week before the feeding date and you cleaned the cage? Wouldn't the snake be hungry? I know 10 minutes before lunch time I'm usually hungry...and I also know that overfed snakes have a really hard time moving around, when they actually accept the excess food. So it's a balance between knowing exactly when to feed, how much to feed, and when to avoid the snake cage. Sara: Yeah, but how can you accurately judge exactly when an animal needs food?

Pythons that large eat so rarely the fact that one in a zoo is hungry is kind of a shame. A good size meal will last a python that size for up to 6 months. It just means they don't feed their animals as much as they should. It is sad to hear about things like this. Pythons that large eat so rarely the fact that one in a zoo is hungry is kind of a shame.

Screw youtube, I like my version. This, combined with the snake head chomper a couple days ago, has me in a very heavy state of imagining this scene. Screw youtube, I like my version.

Full snakes are not going to try and eat whatever walks in their cage next. And the moral of the story is: feed the animals BEFORE you go in their cage.
