当2条蛇都很饥饿时,你可别让牠们相遇。
澳洲阿得雷德(Adelaide)2只「贪吃蛇」为了争食一只死老鼠,纠缠在一起互不相让,各自紧咬老鼠尸体的一端,眼看着就要互吃了。
捕蛇专家布瑞尔(Rolly Burrell)说,「一条吃了老鼠的一只腿,另一条也吞了老鼠的一部分,牠们再这样继续下去,最终一条会吃了另一条,自己也会窒息而死。」
2条滑溜溜的蛇像绳索般紧紧纠缠,布瑞尔和另一名捕蛇专家辛苦地将牠们分开,过程中还得避免被咬伤。
「让蛇在喂食的时间相遇,真是自找麻烦。」布瑞尔说。

Feeding pet snakes at home isn't always easy as some of you know - this does happen - that is why it is always best to separate your animals before feeding - and it doesn't just happen with snakes! I have seen this happen before but to much greater depth where one water python had swallowed it's mate water python down to almost a metre, luckily they were found in time and both snakes survived!
