That is disgusting you need to put a warning for people that are easily sickened by things like that.

And it is something that she needs to put a warning for because not all people can stomach looking at something like that.

Its only nature. I wonder why the snake spit it up...probably because obviously it was way to big to be digested. I wish they had a video of it being swallowed in the first place. Its insane how big snakes can stretch!

True, but as soon as they see it im sure they would stop watching it and not be upset by it. If they continue watching it and THEN complain, then thats their own fault lol.

Of course it can. Snakes can unhinge their jaws, and their skin stretches alot. Its not a full grown hippo obviously. Did you watch the video?

Oh it is amazing what a snake can do. We used to have a couple of snakes and they are definitely interesting creatures. I don't want anymore, but they're interesting all the same.

When we lived in Liberia for 2 years when i was a teen...we saw a snake that had swallowed a full size pig. (Did`nt see it happen....but the native Liberians saw it and were upset because it was THEIR PIG!) You could actually see the huge lump inside the snake...and it was not aggressive after it swallowed it...it just laid there hardly moving.
The snake was killed by the village folks....and they had a feast that night....roast pork...and "some other white meat" :-) (They said the snake was really good....but being American who was ued to fast food i was too squemish to try it.

I thought the video almost looked like something giving birth! Took me a minute to figure out what was happening.

Not personally but stampit3d has, as she posted. She saw a snake eat a full sized pig. It IS possible lol, you cant deny that snakes can swallow giant things.

The snake would have regurged because those people were touching it with that pole. Snakes regurge in order to escape quickly, when you have a pet one and its eaten, you aren't supposed to touch it for 2 days otherwise

I've seen worse on the Discovery channel and on National Geographic channel. Komodo dragons are icky eaters!
Though I admit, maybe a better warning would have been polite to begin with?

Left alone and in a safe place the snake would have eventually digested it. Unfortunately, when a snakes eats a very very large meal they're pretty much defenseless afterwards, they can't fight back and they can't escape. This it why it regurgitated.
(And if you ever consider getting a lizard, they too can regurgitate their food, for much the same reasons - over eating and stress.)

Bones, hooves, and horns get regurgitated back up later. Like owls do with fur and bones.
