![]() To look at it another way, if pythons were in the habit of measuring before striking, they'd likely starve. There's little fretting in their nature about relative sizes of intended edibles, nor does all that much go into their thinking process. Pythons don't measure their prey before going after their meals: They grab, they squeeze, they eat.Why? Because it had been measuring this guy's girlfriend to see if it could eat her, and the reason it hadn't been eating was because it was planning to.Īlthough such stories are interesting, they should be classified with other fictional tales of snake scarelore on the following bases: The vet's reaction was to put the snake down immediately.
