This Snake Vomiting Another Snake Is NOT Doing Any Favors For The Snake PR Department

There are no illusions when it comes to being a Snake fan.  Most of your friends hate them and there aren’t a lot of easy arguments as to why they shouldn’t.  “Snakes are extremely cool animals with intricate colorations and complex hunting strategies!”, I might tell them… “yeah but look at this video YP… they’re undeniably repulsive.”  There is not much I can argue back with in this hypothetical conversation.  It feels eerily similar to being an agent for a once-prolific SEC quarterback.  You can only warp the spin zone so far until you have to start accepting reality.  Unless they are getting killed by J-Lo and Ice cube while running around the Amazon or people are ready to accept that regurgitating other serpents is a totally natural action that’s going to happen from time to time, Snakes are never going to get love from the mainstream, and that’s OK.

On another note, what a lazy job by the camera man here.  This is the type of move that would get you screamed at by Dave Portnoy.  Capturing the incident is one thing, but if this guy wants to move above the realm of basic point and shoot, we’re going to need him to flesh out the narrative a little bit.  Mainly,  what was the vomitee’s next move after being ejected whole from his peer’s body?  Does he find a nice, leafy hole somewhere to shake off the “being-consumed” hangover, or does he get right back on the horse and start cruising around the forest floor like it never happened?  Does he figure things out after coming so close to death and realize what really matters for him in life is his family and god? There’s also the very real chance he was actually dead and the headline was just more interesting to claim that he was alive when it was really his snake body barely twitching and moving?  We may never know.
