Video: Python Regurgitates Large Dog

Video: Python Regurgitates Large Dog

Warning: For those who’ve not seen this video, it’s not for the squeamish.

Large constrictors will eat just about anything they can fit through their dislocated jaws. But sometimes they take on more than they can handle.

This event took place on a Bangkok street in Thailand’s Burana district, as a huge Python estimated to be 12 feet long, attempted to consume a large dog. What you are seeing is after the consumption when the Python realizes, it just ain’t gonna work.

This is the moment a huge python regurgitates a full-grown dog in front on stunned bystanders on a Bangkok street.
The snake – which appears to measure more than 12ft in length – writhes around as the large swollen mass in its stomach is slowly brought tack through its dislocated jaw.
First the dog’s hind legs emerge, then the rest of its body, in the video clip filmed on the phone of an onlooker.
The entire, horrifying spectacle unfolded on Thailand’s Burana district in little more than three minutes.
A snake-handler can then been seen capturing the snake at the end of the video.
It is thought the hungry animal, which kills its prey by constricting before swallowing it whole, bit off more than it could cope with.
Unable to move with the large weight of the dog in its stomach, the snake regurgitated the dog in order to lighten its load.
Since being uploaded to YouTube and LiveLeak, the video has been viewed hundreds of thousands of times.
The event of a snake bringing back up undigested food is rarely seen but quite common in the natural world, according to experts.
Australian Reptile Park reptiles and spiders supervisor, Julie Mendezona told ninemsn: ‘It seems like a typical case where the animal’s eaten something, because it’s hungry, but with snakes once they have eaten a large item they can’t really move very well.
‘All that commotion is spooking the snake and he can’t get away quick enough. He’s probably pretty scared at the moment, so what he’s trying to do is get away.’

These snakes have become a major problem, especially in Florida where they’ve literally overrun the state and forced officials to reach out to residents to hunt them down and eliminate as many as possible.

People get pets when they are little and think they can handle them. That is, until they grow up and become scary and unmanageable. Exotics are dumped off every day with no regard as to how they will effect the delicate balance of the environment they are introduced to.

Please, if you have something like this that you can’t keep any longer, do not dump it in the nearest lake or wooded area. Contact a professional. In most cases they’ll come and remove the “unmanageable pet”, no questions asked.
