But would it have the opportunity to do so very often? A snake in the wild is ungainly, slow and vulnerable after a feed and will look for a spot to curl up and digest dinner before heading off to hunt again.
Given that, the only opportunity it would have to eat again would be if dinner was plonked down in front of it (such as we do for our digesting babies).

Bottom line, unlike our pampered captives, a fed fat wild snake would not have a lot of opportunity to feed again before it's previous meal is digested.
