We very often discuss and debate prey item sizes. In the wild, anything goes because it is not known when the next prey item will present itself.
I went on a callout this morning, and found a BHS that had eaten a huge prey item, most probably a rat.
What impressed me however, is the constrictive power of this species, to subdue and kill a prey item of this size.
It is also not the first BHS I have caught over the years with huge prey items inside them.
The blood on the snake is from a bite from the prey item.
I caught it with my bare hands.
