The local petshop called me today and asked if I could use some older Sebra finches as food for my snakes. So I picked them up and fed them to my male Eastern Green Mamba Dendroaspis angusticeps Really amazing if you see them strike and grab a flying bird with rapid speed out of the air. A bird does not know what hits him and dies in a instance.
But the snake grabbed it rigth behind te wings of wich I could take some nice shots.

I have not best camera but I think they turned out oke.

Wow, fascinating!
Did the snake finish this meal?

Yes he finished his meal he is a real garbage bin and eats everything you offer him.

cheers

It must be interesting to see that at close distance.

Cool.The snake must be lucky now!

Interesting stuff

Richard,

that are some great shots you took.

I think it is always good for snakes to get fed with various food items.

And birds are some of their main prey. It is one step to their natural behavior.

As you told - quick they can be.
