Never seen anything like it in all my life. He even ate the blue doves on the plate!

@DailyLoud commented:

Snakes do the most.

@DailyLoud asked:

Does it have the strength to crack the egg when it’s about halfway over it?

@freedivinemind commented:

OMG. It would just seem to me as if he was going to eat it. Why not squeeze it and break the egg and swallow everything ... Not my business. God knows what She/He created with all these species. Amazing.

@DemonicBriton commented:

Snakes are not anatomically designed to essentially chew their food in their mouth. Essentially, their digestive system does that work for them.

@imanupper reacted:

Snakes can’t possibly eat because they are hungry. It has to be just instinct because this just looks painful, and it has to hurt going down.

@DailyLoud said:

How TF does this egg not crack while it’s swallowing it? Eggs crack just in my back seat on the way home from the store.
