webfact Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Snake catchers find 5 meter long python that had eaten three cats Picture: Thai Rath Animal rescue experts were called to a grassy area near the Sri Racha railway station last night after a large snake was found coiled up. The five meter long python had a large bump. It had consumed three local cats and was having a rest while digesting its meal, reported Thai Rath. Sawang Pratheep staff took just ten minutes to get the five meter long python into a fertilizer sack to begin its journey back to nature. The python had been found by a grass cutter who then rushed to tell his mate to call the snake catchers.

It probably vomited the cats out. They commonly do that when feel threatened. One thing I don't understand is why cats don't run away and end up serially eaten? There have been numerous stories already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldrunner Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 They didn't cut it open for picture sensitivity. Cats must be pretty slow or very stupid. My cats would have hauled ass just seeing the grass move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have happened in the fertilizer bag after the snake was put there. Anyway, just a speculation, no specific info being reported. How else could they identify and count the victims, provided the snake wasn't harmed (reportedly taken to be released in natural environment)?

Apparently those things never stop growing and in Florida they eat deer & alligators It's a reticulated python. They are more slender and tend to go after smaller prey than Burmese, mostly eating rats in the city. On occasion they do eat cats though. And there's no way that's 5 meters, obvious from the scale of the people next to it. It's somewhere around 2.5 to 3 meters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
