I can promise you that did not offend strange_wings, she can handle reptiles and amphibians. And Im sure there are many others on here that it wouldnt bother in the least way.

I think she was laughing sarcastically because it sure was a sight to see. And she happens to know that I have a phobia of snakes.

My comment on the warning was because although there are people on here that would not be offended, people like me would like to have the choice to not look.

Please dont take it personally at all, from Strange_wings or myself, it was just a request and not meant to offend.

Nah, not offended at all.


What I meant is if the initial post had said "eww, snake couldn't keep it's hippo meal down!" or something like that it might not have shocked the people that looked first.
Though it certainly added a new meaning to 'life's little surprises'.


As for the video itself, I might suggest no animal regurgitations of any kind for those who might have weaker stomachs? Not just for you, but for anyone else that peeks at the thread.

Online you will certainly find those that you can relate to better than others, just like offline, but dont worry about what people online have to say negatively towards you (just like offline) as long as your are at peace with your decisions and your way of life, thats what matters.

I am not a fan of snakes, but I had to go look. I knew snake could eat things far larger than they were but a little Hippo WOW. learned something new today.

Tink80, online there will alway be someone who feels they need to give you there openion, even when you did not ask for it. I am pretty new here but have belonged to other forums & this is one of the nicest I have been to in some time. I am sorry if you have been made to feel bad.

That video got me mad!

The snake they were harassing at the start was the snake that ate the hippo (notice how big it's belly was)

It regurgitated the hippo because it was being severely stressed and hit by those people. Not only did the hippo die for nothing now, but the snake has no meal and who knows what they did to it after the camera stopped.

It was probably a baby hippo it ate a snake can eat one that size.

Snakes can go a long time between meals, they dont have to eat every day like we do. Once every 1-2 weeks probably. The larger the prey, the longer it will have a full stomach. Makes sense to me.
