A video showing the incredible moment a massive python ate an entire chicken has gone viral.
The video, posted by snake catcher Tony Harrison, shows a carpet python with a massive bulge in his belly after he consumed the chicken in a Gold Coast home. Mr Harrison was called in to retrieve a carpet python when the owner found it eating the family’s pet chicken in their chook pen.
The snake catcher said he was impressed because the snake wasn’t very large in comparison to other carpet pythons. ‘I don’t see them eating adult chickens all that often and this snake wasn’t that big either but he suddenly had a liking for chicken,’ Mr Harrison told the Courier Mail. ‘Carpet pythons will eat anything with fur or feathers,’ he told the publication.
People have taken to social media to say how impressed they are with the snake’s appetite. ‘I normally eat half a chicken from Charcoal Chickens. This snake is just plain greed,’ one said. ‘Wow…Greedy Python …I still love him though….’ another replied. ‘A chicken that didn’t cross the road in time,’ one man joked.
