egg eating snake *movie*

[doenoe]

Well, here is a little clip i shot when i was in Canada. We were at Jordans place and he showed us how the snake ate an egg. It was really an excitin sight.
Well the people you hear talkin in the background are: Mike, Jordan, Beejay, Earl and me. Oh and some freakin toad or frog that made a really loud sound. Scared the hell out of me the first time.
But yesterday i heard that the snake in the movie has died. So this is a tribute to a great snake

Thanks again Jordan for showin us that. It was a great experience

Oh the movie is about 19mb, so some of you just need a bit of patience i guess.

Oh, and it's a Horned Frog and it sounds like a smoke detector with a low battery, no doubt it shocked us all who were not expecting it lol

Stupid thing ate the egg sideways, lol. it normally takes him 5 seconds to take down the egg. but always takes a while to crack it. great video daan! I even enjoyed watching it, lol.

Take care

[Tim and Julie B]

That was awsome!!!!!!

[J-Man]

What kind of eggs does it eat? Can they just be eggs from the grocery store? that would be too easy and cheap.

Cool video, one tip though to make the file smaller use a tripod to keep the camera still.

[doenoe]

Well, i dont know if the real is name egg eating snake. Its just something i call em. Wonder why? :p
The snakes Jordan has, eat quail (sp) eggs. Those are pretty small snakes, so they need pretty small eggs to eat.
I dont know how the little girl died. Its just to bad it had to go.
And i could have made the movie 5.2 mb, but the quality sucked :D And i dont have a tripod yet.
