Down the hatch!

They're quite partial to the adult birds as well (pigeons)!

Sorry, food wasn't so easy to come by back in the Dominican Republic. And the damn things kept nesting on my balcony!

I apologise to all pigeon lovers out there!

Does that type of snake spit out the shell....or not?

No, it's not like the African colubrids that have the adapted vertebra to "crack" open the eggs.
