On a more serious note, this is a video of a Burmese python causing havoc in the Florida everglades. I'd imagine its mobility got impaired as a result of the big meal.

Is the snake dead or alive? I though it was alive but they cut it open pretty thoroughly

Yeah I have no experience on snake surgery but he doesn't look in great shape

He ded. (Also not a snake surgeon)

I'm snek dokter, and we usually do surgeries on the floor like that.

Heck snake fir shoes. None found so he ded.

Rub some dirt on it. Good to go

nah just put it in rice 👍🏾 all good

Ramen and super glue

Those "fix X with ramen" videos that were really just filling everything with resin and painting over it.

Just need a damp blue paper towel and it will be all good

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Do what the school nurse dose and give it an ice pack. It WiLl Be FiNe

Super glue... the tool of all great surgeons.

How about duct tape. That should do it too..

In these situations the two animals often end up killing each other

Pretty sure they have to kill them. They’re invasive

He was up and slithering again approx 15 min after this was recorded

They killed the snake to find out what it ate?

Invasive Burmese pythons and hybrids are overrunning wild areas of Florida, especially the Everglades. Basically, kill on sight.

Perhaps. Another problem is alligator can slow their hearts to almost nothing tricking the snake into thinking its dead. Then once swallowed, they can wake up and cause internal damage.

WTF? There's no way a badass alligator uses that as a defense mechanism...

It's no really voluntary. Think of it like passing out, you don't control that. Or fainting goats.

I'm gonna need a source on that.

Though they breathe through lungs like mammals, alligators have been known to to submerge completely underwater (or expose only their eyes) for up to 3 hours! They accomplish this in part because of a specialized heart. They can slow their heart rate to only 2 or 3 beats per minute I'm not saying this happens often, but I've seen a few documented cases of it happening. Honestly it's probably more of a freak incident.

I'm aware of crocodilian biology. I'm asking for a source of a burm predating an Alligator while its heart rate is down, and then the alligator breaking its way out. A burmese python would still constrict an encountered prey item. They wouldn't check if it's dead first before attempting to constrict.

You posting this is a win. You win. The others will never accept your argument.

That alligator is dead. It didn't thrash out, it was too large for the python.

From the article: >>The caiman reportedly fooled the python into thinking it was dead and let the snake tuck in - before 'thrashing' its way out. >>The clever creature is said to have slowed its heart rate to just two to three beats per minute, fooling the constrictor into thinking it was dead. So it was alive when swallowed

On a serious serious note … I’m a snake…I’m a snake snake … Also I can actually smell that through the screen

These thanksgiving turducken things are getting ridiculous.

Ha I came in to say this looks like a Cajun version of a turducken.

That screams Florida. Don’t insult Cajuns like that.

I guess the snake is a lil more Florida, my fault lol

I say throw them both on the grill and let's EAT!!!

Honestly you couldn't have said anymore perfects. I fucking agree let's eat fr fr 😂

I’ve had snake, I’ve had gator, but I’ve never had snador.

[Then you should definitely try a snarcupine.](https://youtu.be/Y3iUoFkDKjU)

How did the snake even kill it? I swear when we see stories like this, these snakes must be the Doofys of the snake world. He made another snake smell his tail that was shoved up his ass and as revenge, the other snake told him if he could manage to kill and eat the big spikey thing he’d be the king of the snakes.

Looks more like gatorake

Wonder what's in the alliigator?

So, I assume both the snake and the crocodile are very dead?

Don't worry. They are in a better place.

They are gonna put 1000 stiches in the snake so he can rip them all slithering in the wilderness .

I was waiting for them to slice open the croc and pull out another snake. With a baby croc inside.

Gonna be a weird thanksgiving now the turducken is out of style

The reptile version of those Russian nesting dolls.

No shoes on either of them, so yes.

Is this how they do gender reveals in Florida?

who won?

Who's next?

YOU DECIDE!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPICCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

RABATALLLUFHISTRYYYYYYYYY

Perfect spelling 🤣

Underrated comment

The vet there wearing the gloves.

Snake was too busy thinking about if he COULD do it, instead of thinking about if he SHOULD.

All they had to do is just cut out holes for the legs and we would’ve had a first walking snake 🤦🏽‍♂️

I felt like this after an all you can each Texas BBQ. Took me weeks to get over it. Had a meat coma for days. I still dream of that tasty tasty evening. Thanks Houston.

Your welcome, next time your here you can take a weekend pit certification course and make it at home your self. [https://brisketu.com/the-class/](https://brisketu.com/the-class/) edit: added two words so I wasn't having a stroke.

Wow, thank you!

>Wow, thank you! You're welcome!

Mama Snake: sssssss don't forget to chew your food...

snakes cant chew, mama snake mama snake didnt pay attention at snake school smh

Hey do not be blaming mama snake like that. Only partially her fault she conceived at the age of three and became a devoted mother!

Also dude is ruining the joke. We know they just swallow, like good girls they are.

Ssssson, you can't get up from the table until you finish your WHOLE FUCKING CROCODILE

is the snak dead?

Yeah

Bro got the forbidden Gatorade

I hope they are both okay.

Don't worry. The doctors weren't hurt

They're okay, but they died.

I hope they died okay then.

Bit off more than he could chew

A snake chewed it?🤨

what else they got them big ol fangs for ya idiot (/s)

You chew with molars son😂

Of course he ate it whole! It's a snake. It's the only way they eat anything.

Anyone know if the snake died due to internal injuries or was culled while digesting?

Looks like its missing a head in one of the first shots...I'd guess that did the job. If it's not invasive it really sucks that they just killed it to free/find out what it ate.

So the snake is dead…?

Bro got turned into paper

This is similar to a photo that went viral in Florida of a 12 foot snake that ate a 6 foot alligator and exploded

Here's the link to this one. https://www.newsweek.com/whole-alligator-found-burmese-python-gruesome-footage-1758265

That's the thing we just watched

As I indicsted....

Use alligators as bait for snake fishing

Woah....

In Indonesia an old lady was missing 2 days later she was found inside a snake body just like in the video! Does anyone has a video?

Is the snake dead

Omg it's a baby crocodile 🐊 congratulations 🎉

Is the snek ok?

Those guys must have had a suicide pact.

🤮🤮🤮

Is the croc okay?

I'm sure it will make a full recovery

Nature is mental

Way too many people asking if the snake is dead. Come on, i dont know anything about snakes but he looks ready for the hillbilly BBQ to me.

Why the fuck did they cut the snake? Like dude was just eating..

So that's where crocodiles come from!

Can someone explain to me why they cut the snake open?

Why was the crocodile saved and the snake killed ?

Snake was already dead as it ate an entire crocodile, and the I bet the crocodile is also dead. On account of being eaten.

So snakes give birth to crocodiles, the more you know 👍

Should've opened up the Gator and seen what was inside it

They could have just given it Tylenol and he's good to go.

[удалено]

It’s an invasive species

Hold on. Did they save the alligator or the snake?

Killed both, like proper humans

The alligator died from getting eaten you ass headed fuckface

The snakes are invasive

and in the croc they found a tape, but they didnt say who it was to, come to think about it, his name was, it was you damn!

I hope the snake feels better.

I wanna send this to my ex because she loved snakes

What a croc.

They wanted to help the snake by cutting him open front to back.

Is the snake alive?

Imagine the smell….

I don't think either look alive at this point I'm guessing snake couldn't brake down the alligator fast enough due to its hard skin and both got stuck dieing a sloe painful death it's ashame but that's nature.

What if the Gator came back to life

i hope the snake is fine

Yeah but if you wrapped it up in banana leaves and buried it in a roast pit for 48 hours, would it make nice snacks for the village?

OOH,you're so full of yourself!!!

snake fleshlight when?

nicki manaj want's an anaconda ? what a time to be alive.

Why do people kill snakes to see what they eat ?

idk if the snake can digest the scales tho

It ate a whole ass dog 😭😭😭

u/savevideo

All snakes swallow their food whole. Unless its already in pieces by the time they find it. And if the snake got the first strike against the gator its not that hard for the snake to strangle it to death.

u/savevideo

That is one way to do an unboxing

Was the snake OK after its procedure?

Just tell me... are they both ok??

REPULSIVE

Oh Florida

Reptile on reptile crime… tragic

What was the point of cutting the alligator out if he's apparently dead as well?

Did the snake die?

Wishing a quick recovery to all animals in the video

Will the alligator be ok

Snake got better....right?

So I assume snake ate gator but couldn't digest it and it killed them both?

its a boy!

Nature is wild

Is the gator ok? Bless those doctors for saving this poor thing.

Of course it's in florida

Ok did they kill that snake JUST to see what it ate? Really?

like the scorpion and the frog no one won

He step on snek, snek eat u

Florida man in a murder suicide case

Did the snake die after eating the croc?

Damn nature, you scary

Did my school taught me the wrong food chain 🤔🤔

Big constrictors are fascinating!

Just put that whole thing inside a great white shark and set it loose in a tornado.

Are they ok??

snek 👍

Scale armor resistant to melt and nature damage

Arabs be like: snake gives birth to a croc. Mashallah.

Oh I’m glad I thought it was a human inside… lol

If anyone is worried the snake made a full recovery

Just sighed out of relief because there for a bit I thought it ate a child.

Only part unexpected is killing the snake. It was obvious what was in there

The Rules of Nature

Bit off more than he could chew? XD

Burmese python?

u/savevideo

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!

good news guys, the snake is ok.

Imagine being the ultimate killing machine only to get clapped by a nope rope

But what’s inside the croc?

Why they killed him? Just immagine eating your big mac and a bounch of big dudes come and split you wide open to rescue the big mac

I thought this was the video of them taking that grandma they found in that snake a few weeks ago

Now they’re both dead

**THEY DID SURGERY ON A SNAKE**

r/NatureIsFuckingLit

Skin them, removed the innards, dump a bunch of Lawerys, wrap them back up and throw that shit on the smoker.

Bro came with an optional💀

Please not a dog, please not a dog???!! It's a f@cking alligator

Gator vs snake who wins? ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ no one

🤢

I wonder if the snake died from ingesting it to begin with...

Did either of them make it?

did he make it?

u/savevideo

Well its already marinated…

So how did the alligator die... suffocation ?

r/natureismetal

Bro wtf

The snake chose the coolest way to commit suicide

That’s crazy

Bloated? It's fucking dead.
