To start your post with "well said" only serves to encourage this sadistic behavior. He didn't just tell us about it, he posted pictures and justified it by saying he wanted to learn something about this snakes natural behavior in the wild. People can post what they want, but I see nothing educational or scientific about what was done.

That's hilarious. So the act of a snake using constriction on a prey item is "sadistic"? The dance between predator and prey is both ancient and honorable, and is to be respected, not denigrated.I know that may be lost on today's generation, who get their meat and fish wrapped in cellophane, but it is nonetheless true.

I wholeheartedly endorse the comments of both Dusty and the OP...No graphic photos were posted, so take a chill pill.
