Pinky head for young snake?

I think you need to watch the whole episode.

Why? I was merely saying that a lot of gas is produced when a large meal isn't digested promptly or thoroughly enough. Sometimes it's enough to make a snake literally explode.

Seems that it was the wrong episode. Oh well.

Anyway, they busted that exploding gut myth in one episode.

[ConcinusMan]

With snakes? It does happen.

[RedSidedSPR]

Yeah. I've read about it.. it happens. Not a myth.

[ConcinusMan]

Anyway, my whole point was that gut flora is something to think about. Your newborn babies are going to need it, and until the colonies get well established, I think it's just easier on their system to feed them small pieces and not let them get too full. This will of course make it necessary to feed them often.

With snakes? It does happen.

Got any documented cases of it?
