You mention them trying to eat very large prey... just wanted to toss in a few things i've seen in the field that back this up.



I've seen an approx 5' western coachwhip trying to consume a fully grown cottontail rabbit... something that it couldnt possibly get down.



I've seen a young 2-2.5' bullsnake trying to eat a trapped quail... again something it couldnt possibly get down.



and lastly I stumbled upon a great plains rat that had eaten something (not sure what it was... rat maybe) that was so large the snake could barely crawl through the dirt. The stretched out buldge didn't look possible, but somehow it was in there. reminded me of the pics of af rocks eating antelope.
