I seen this on another site. It's actually a Olive Python. I didn't know they could get that big, but it turns out they can.

don't know about ball pythons but,scrub pythons,carpet pythons,black headed pythons and woma's can pile in the prey mate

your ball will take an adult cat once,she's an adult herself,i would think

mykee,aaron or julien may know if that would be possible ?

you gotta ADMIRE the scrubby in the pictures determination,going for prey that size its one cool snake

cheers shaun

No problem! I thought it was a scrub eating a baby cow first time i seen it.
Then some one was able to enlarge the pictures enough to get a better look. Until then i never knew they could get over 10 feet. It's a huge snake with out a doubt. And let's face it that is one Awesome picture.

Nice I particularly liked this one. Not a fan of little dogs. Olive Python eats a Maltese terrier.

I know. The wild pics of snakes taking large prey are my favorites. I just got some rabbits for my burm today. I am looking forward to dinner time.
