A friend traveling through Arizona found a king snake having dinner. I don't think anyone ever told the king snake he has a limit in size of prey. The whole eating process took five hours.

Wow. Did your friend stay there for the whole five hours! That's big time patient but worth it for the pics - getting them off the internet is one thing but to actually witness it themselves must have been amazing - well done to your friend.

They are good pics, although it would've been nice for your mate to have just told you where they really came from, instead of claiming he took them.

Yes, he stayed there and snapped those plus the in between views. He took a picture for each stage of dinner. I only put three in here.

I accept your correction. I thought it looked way too big to be a king snake,but I only have his word for it.

I'll have to talk to him about his fib. He said it was in Arizona and I took him at his word. Thanks for the correction.

I guess not. I should've asked him for proof before I shared them.

think he should also wise up on his geography. Arizona and Australia are in different continents.

I slapped his hands. This is not the first time he has done something like this. That last time he claimed a friend sent him this video of the python that was supposed to be dead which wasn't. I later found the video on the net. I should've known the prankster would do it again.

If you genuinely thought that they were photos that he took then there is no Foul...

Perhaps its time to turn the tables on him...

Kehhlyr someone told me that story within days of getting my snake!! It apparently happened to a friend of a friend, and "honestly" it was true, made me laugh and most people I told!! Scary what some people will believe.

I took the website that you guys added and put it in the comment box in his myspace with the correct name of the snake. In the event that he chose not allow the comment, I put the website on my site. lol. I have to admit, those are interesting photos.
