Bizarre footage from India shows the reptile regurgitating a whopping six whole eggs after it scoffed seven – and clearly regretted it.And in a strange scene similar to a horror film and a reverse birthing process, a large white egg emerges from its jaws and plops onto the ground.

Just as before, the reptile moves the eggs along the inside of its body, gradually working them up towards its mouth.
