lol! That was my thought as well.
It always amazes me how large of a prey snakes can eat. How well do they digest these prey that have hard shells or skins (i.e. turtles and gators) or even antlers? To me it seems like their bodies would have a hard time digesting it even if it can.

Re: large prey,can they take it
Antlers amaze me too, they are incredibly dense.
Looks like they digest it, otherwise we would have way more dead snakes.

Re: large prey,can they take it
I know right? And it's not just digesting, but how they manage to get it down without the antlers cutting their insides to pieces!

Re: large prey,can they take it
And they still generally eat horned animals head first, which blows my mind!
