MIAMI -- Once again, a python was done in by its dinner.

After one python exploded after trying to eat an alligator, and another was blamed for disappearance of a Siamese cat, a 10-foot African rock python was apparently trapped by the turkey it ate at a Miami nursery. It couldn't slither back through a fence to digest the bird in peace.

Dozens of turkeys and chickens live at the nursery, and owner Felix Azquz noticed one turkey was missing early Monday.

Then Azquz, 77, saw the bulging snake.

"It scared me,'' Azquz said. ``I ran outside to call the police.''

Capt. Al Cruz of the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue antivenin unit said a similar 16-foot-long snake was found in the same area three years ago, before a new housing development was built.

The snake was taken to a Miami-Dade County nature center, but Cruz said it will be moved to a zoo in central Florida because of its aggression.

"It launches at everything that tries to come near it,'' Cruz said.

Earlier this month, a 13-foot python blew up as it tried to swallow a 6-foot American alligator in Everglades National Park. Neither animal survived.

On Sunday, a bulging 12-foot Burmese python was captured near the backyard of a Miami Gardens home. A snake expert said the python had eaten the homeowner's year-old Siamese cat, named Frances.

"The moral of the story,'' Cruz said, is that pythons "are eating more than they can chew.''

 

DUDE! You guys got Panthers down there? That's crazy. I would be packing everywhere I went, what is this Alaska?

 

Ya but can't it swallow Obama's new budget.

 

Panthers, wher'ed that come from.....we got a few of them but they are damn rare.

Now Pythons.....we got lots and have started to really become a problem. I feel confident dealing with a python in the swamp with my fillet knife, but an angry gator .... that's another issue.

Here's a bigger pic of snake that split trying to eat a big gator.



Gators eat the pythons too.

 

I don't like small snakes.

 

Wow..............

 

I watched the story on that in the link and it said that there were panthers down there, that's where I got it.

 

ya, snakes dont think when they eat it looks like. anyone watch the video on the sidebar about the nato protest, wish i could have been in france for that.

 

Yeah I saw where an expert made a comment on where that snake at the gator and it split. He said what most likely happened was one of the claws probably snagged the inside of the snake and made an infection and weekend the the hide and then it split. Can you imagine the pain??? I think thats a fairly old pic too. Amazing though, none the less.

And that snake in the second photo is going to be FUBAR....hes done for.

 

Reptiles aren't exactly the worlds smartest creatures.
