Last night I was watching my new Bredli eating dinner, and after much struggling and trying to swallow the mouse from the middle, it found the tail end, then some more struggling and it eventually swallowed it backwards.
Just curious, can a snake be harmed in anyway by eating it's meals backwards?
Also what happens if a snake trys to take on a meal too big? I was watching a David Attenborough doco last night, and it had a quick bit of footage of a VERY large python of some sort, swallowing what looked to be an impala or gazelle. Do they just give up? or keep eating and stretch things?
