The snake was probably eating a spotted snake eel. If I remember right the one the tv showed had fewer spots than this pic but the narrative says that juvenile spotted snake eels have fewer spots and develop more rows of spots as they age. It also is indigenous to the same area as the coral sea snake. Link

That is exactly what the thing that was coming out of the snakes mouth looked like! White (while the snake was not), and spotted (while the snake was not).

And I thought it was film of a snake eating an ell only the film was run backwards. On board with a difficult season to get involved in. Darn!

snakes very often will "throw up" their meal if they feel threatened. while they are eating they are pretty defenseless. they camera crew probably scared the snake and it threw it up to protect its self if needed.

Yea, that YouTube vid was one of the hits I got when I Googled. But I challenge the title of that vid. That wasn't a hippo! At least, I'm pretty sure it wasn't. Looked more like an antelope or something in that family.

I haven't seen this posted yet, but I expect it is somewhere... Papa Smurf had an allergic reaction to all those bug bites. http://www.twincities.com/mld/twincities/news/breaking_news/16820521.htm

I have to agree on many points.. I really can't get into this season, not one single person (granted I many not know some or never will, like Lilliana), I really cringe hearing Rocky or Dreamz or Lisi (and she tops it off with that horrible HAT), don't like the have/have not stuff.. just a whole misbegotten mess so far. When the snake was the only scene I watched twice, you know I'm not into the season.

I commented that I thought that may have been Gary's problem up-thread, and someone did post this in the General Discussions thread. I thought that might be it, since he was so covered with bites and none of the others were. If you have an allergy to a specific bite, it can really wreak havoc with you!
