An Unfortunate Loss

[Minkness]

I dunno about that Aaron. What about those snakes that eat prey too big for it causing it to suffocate or burst open? There's that anaxonda that ate a caiman too big fornit and it died, then I have seen where a BP ate another BP that was almost the same size as it's self and it's stomach burst to the point you could see the snake that it had eaten.

I have the ball python picture. There seemed to be extenuating circumstances with the story. I leave it at inconclusive as there's other pieces to the logic behind this.

The anaconda and caimen could be various reasons. The caimen was still alive and ripped the animal, the claws on the caimen could have caught the snakes insides and ripped it open and then other animals opened it up further. There's a multitude of logical answers that point to the size of the meal NOT being the culprit.
