I was tracking a deer for one of our hunters and walked up on this, talk about a heart attack! I have been in the woods all my life and have never seen a snake eat a rabbit before. he had the rabbits head all the way down and was working on the rest of him.

Thats exercise the food chain, ending the snake and taking his rabbit.

Several years ago I was quail hunting with my labs near Stanton tx and my dog fires off in a mesquite and comes out with a limp but dead rabbitt and as I'm staring at this rabbit I hear the tell tell buzzing of a rattler. I'm assuming the snake had bit the cottontail and was in process of tracking him down when my dog found it 1st. I got my dogs back, filled the tree full of lead and got the heck out of there. I saw the snake but didn't stick around and dig it out because I was worried about my dogs retrieving it for me.

I've owned a few snakes over the years, and I'm amazed at what they can handle when swallowing food, but I think his eyes are bigger than his stomach.

Great pics. Never seen a snake eat a rabbit but have killed rattlesnakes that have eaten them already.

Full meal deal right there. I killed one Friday night that had just eaten something, but the one I killed was not eating as big as your snake was. Been seeing a lot of snakes with the weather cooling off. I guess they are in need of a den.
