Queensland Snake Catcher Relocates Big-Bellied Python to 'Digest His Meal'

A Queensland snake catcher was called to a home on December 2 to remove a very full carpet python that had eaten what appeared to be a bat.

Footage posted to Facebook shows Stuart McKenzie from Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers 24/7 removing the big-bellied snake from the yard at a house in Buderim.

McKenzie reckoned that the python had eaten a bat, which he said are tough for snakes to digest because of their wings and claws.

“As you can see on this snake the bats’ wings are nearly poking through the side of the snake,” McKenzie wrote on Facebook.
