I just read that entire page. VERY interesting!!! Several articles, not just the Boa eating the Ball Python.
First article reminds me of my first experience with Boa constrictors. I was in Junior High. Bought a baby boa for $3. That's what they cost back then. My parents weren't real keen on me keeping a snake like that yet, so I took it to school and kept it in the science lab. Another kid brought in a wild mouse for it to eat. Left them together overnight. Same result as on that Boa constrictor page, exactly. I guess I learned that lesson back in 1965. Much harder lesson for the snake, unfortunately.
The best article in my mind is the last one. Very appropriate -- regarding giant snakes; the digestion of large food items. Something we've been discussing quite a bit lately. Be sure to read that last one.
Thanks for the link Connor.
