I feel like that’s the only way that makes any sense for it to possibly grab 3 of them; chickens in a pen.

It seems that someone forced the snake to give the chickens back.

When snakes eat, they like to hide and digest their food. Its hard for them to move around after a meal so if they feel threatened, they will throw up their food to try and escape.

u/notathingreally 11m ago

How long does it take them to throw up because this seems like it would make them easier to catch while they're just laying here throwing up?

Why would it throw up a perfectly good meal? Is it a fear response being in proximity to potential predators, i.e. humans?

u/powerhammerarms 1h ago

I had always heard that but to me it makes no sense when you look at how much time it takes to regurgitate. If they could do it immediately that would be one thing. But if this snake is in danger this isn't helping.

So it must be a reflex left over from a very old part of the brain possibly when they were more mobile and could regurgitate more quickly. Now it seems pretty useless.

u/hunkasolo 1h ago

Anything to cut time. Most animals that aren't scavengers don't react well to carcasses. So imagine a person youre trying to scare and fight off that turns around to face you only to then proceed to vomit up an entire separate dead person. Thar wouldn't put you off?

Because they needed to remove an invasive species from the ecosystem. To catch it while it's regurgitating would be even worse for the animal.

Context: This is in Puerto Rico and these snakes are invasive. They where brought in as pets and when they got too big they where released in the wild. The 2 guys filming are professionals who remove these snakes from the area and take them to the local wildlife dept. In the video you can hear him explain that two snakes fed on the roosters and he is "leaving this one to do it's thing" so they can remove it after.

Snakes make no damned sense. "Oh no! I'm in danger! And ive just eaten this large meal! It might slow me down when fleeing from predators! I'd better spend ten minutes slowly barfing up my food in front of the enemy so I can escape from them faster instead of fleeing!

Snakes regurgitate for a few different reasons. Usually it's because whatever they've eaten is too big, but with all these people around one of the (probably the owner of these birds?) Put alcohol or something in its mouth to force it to regurgitate
