I feel so sorry for that poor snake.
Wonder if they just left those eggs? |

I saw an interesting doco which showed a mother Rock Python shepherding her youngsters in and out of the nesting hole. It was very cute to see such a large animal taking such care of tiny hatchlings. It seemed very similar to the way mother croc's look after their young.
