Or is it photoshopped? I found it on another unrelated forum.

I think its made up. If you look at the dog's back against the snake's body you can see the altered line. I'm no photoshop pro, but don't think its real. Plust, that dog would be pretty small judging by the pavers.

I certainly hope you're right! I was thinking the same thing.

I have heard this photo discussed before.. I think that the prey item is actually a baby goat. (From what I can remeber!!)

I was in indonesia a few years ago. I asked the owner of a large python what they fed it. "Dogs" was his reply. As much as anything else in my travels, that made clear the cultural differences we have with other countries.

Feeding a dog to a python was no more inappropriate than feeding a rat or rabbit or goat would be to us.

I dont mean this to condone or condemn anyones feeding habits. I just think pictures like this are occasionally worth seeing to force us to think about the things that happen due to our hobby. For those of us that like dogs, perhaps this is a good reminder why it's important not to show off snakes eating rats or rabbits to rat and rabbit lovers.

Just thinking.

Yeah, it'd be a rather large rabbit, but it has some very rabbity features. The tail looks right, and the front feet look okay. The back legs appear a little long, but not too much. It could just be a moderately sized or even thin burm (I'm thinking roughly 5 to 8') trying to eat a very large rabbit. Some rabbits are built a lot more lean than others, so I believe this could certainly be one. Of course, it could also be a dog, though it's not a goat as it doesn't have hooves.
