lol. So apparently the snake didn't move for 5 days after that meal. I imagine it being because of the sharp ends of the lizard.

Re: Carpet python eats bearded dragon

I don't think carpets are too fussed about what they eat as long as they can swallow it. It's a great picture, was there any more?

That's the shot I would have liked to see, I imagine that would be some feeding bulge.

Was probably a close call for the snake. I'd imagine a monitor that big could just have easily killed the blackhead.

Re: Carpet python eats bearded dragon

Bearded dragons are common food items for other animals in Australia.

Monitors eat them all the time.
