Burm eating rabbit time lapse

Shot over a period of about 2:30 hours.

Ran out of memory before she got it down.

Thanks. Indecisive snake ruined the video. Right after I run out of space she gets the shoulders down and slurps it up within 20-30 minutes... That's the part I was hoping to catch.

The fur can be decieving too. They look a lot bigger than they are, until she muscles it and stretches it out lengthwise.

Depends on the species, and if the snake can make up his mind. The false water cobras I had would down a meal in under a minute, my retics range from 2-3 minutes to 2+ hours (if they chose to constrict... it takes a while)
varies species to species and individual to individual

Re: Burm eating rabbit time lapse

As you can see from the video, sometimes a great deal of time is spent staring at the prey, deciding what the best way to try and eat it is. Remember how fast the video is playing. Those pauses where she is looking at it in real time are 5-15 minutes long.

Sometimes I wonder if she's having an active stroke.
