And now for something completely different

[thesalmonofdoubt]

So, combination of got a new phone (with slow-Mo and fast-mo?) video capture (galaxy note4 edge for those interested in that sort of thing).. and it was feeding time for my boy, Monty, the Atherton ranges Jungle Python.

So, I decided it would be fun to see what he looked like in slow mo catching the bugger, then in fast motion eating it.. and this is what I came up with after downloading an incredibly difficult to use, but surprisingly functional free video editor.

I like this a great deal.

**edit** wouldn't recommend watching this if you have a weird soft spot for rodents - FTR, the thing was killed humanely before any feeding occurred.

That is.... sad for the mousey.

Circle of life and all that - I blame god.

Also - it's a rat, it would take several mice to feed this monster

No! It's Mr. Mousey! Or... was.

[thesalmonofdoubt]

Very cool. How big is the python?

Very cool. How big is the python?

He's pretty much fully grown now (about 7 years old - got him as a 10 week old neonate) - so, he's about 7 feet long and reasonably thick.
They're arboreal, so have proportionately smaller heads so, when he just stick that out of his hide, he looks surprisingly smaller than he actually is.

How big is the python?
