Snake eating mouse bigger than it's head. It's snake feeding time and you would not think by just looking at this young black snake, he could swallow this baby mouse whole if you didn't see the snake swallow it with you own eyes. This is how snakes eat though, it looks painful for the small snake to swallow a mouse whole like this, but that is how the legless reptile eats.

A snake is able to dislocate it's own jaw in order to swallow a large meal. A snake will feed on a meal larger than this with no problem. If a meal is too large, he can regurgitate it before he causes in jury to itself. I caught a large black snake eating a small chicken in my coop and witnessed his spitting it out as it was just too large or he was spooled by my discovery. The chicken obviously didn't make it as they suffocate and are crushed head first. A snake wants to eat it's prey head first to make things slide smooth down his throat.

What do snakes eat? A snake's diet consist of birds, mice, other snakes, fish, frogs, eggs and whatever else it can catch. Venomous snakes paralyze their prey before eating and constrictors wrap around their prey crushing it first to kill before ingesting. Thanks for watching snake eats mouse at feeding.
