Scientists claim evolution in reverse on snakes. Folks who have read and believe the Genesis account on this topic, knew thousands of years before that scientific discovery, that snakes haven't always moved about on their bellies. But of course that is just coincidence... right?

I'm not shocked to see this, although that picture doesn't look real to me.

that snake ate a lizard, and his leg came through its belly...

just like the pythons that ate croc, which exploded...

IF IT CAME THROUGH THE SNAKE WHERS THE BLOOD? PHOTOSHOP?

She stuck it in a bottle of achohol. If there was any blood it was washed away.

BTW that actually looks like the front leg of a lizard. You can see the elbow joint.

If it's actually a leg/foot it grew in backwards for it to be a usable appendage for the snake.

However, it's in the right direction and location to be a lizard's front leg. Since the snake clearly ate "something" it could very well be a lizard's leg that poked through the body of the snake.

like maybe it ate something and the foot popped through its side.It has obviously had something to eat, you can see the bulge.
who knows, i doubt a snake can grow a foot from its side, like that anyhow.

Thought the same thing.

Wirlwindboaz Sep 14, 2009 05:09 PM

I'm wondering if it's really got a "foot" or if something it ate managed to poke it's foot through the skin? It definately looks like it's got a "food item" in it. Hopefully, they'll do a follow up story on this and provide more pictures. Maybe even a few "X-rays".

It would be interesting what the autopsy shows.

That picture actually looks like there is a lizard in the belly
and the foot was pulled through the skin(manually by a human)

If its real it Figures the idiot killed it.
Un freak'n believable stupidity !!

But I think its a Doctored photo
