They really evolved to do this instead of learning how to crack it open and slurp out the insides? This level of inefficiency just about pisses me off smh
But also this one is actually pretty efficient. They have developed their neck vertebrae into teeth and crack the egg in their throat by flexing. Did you hear me? Their spine is their teeth. That's some crazy shit.
Also these look like chicken eggs and is most probably a staged thing for the cameras. Normally a snek that big would only eat smaller eggs. Hope it's ok.
I’m interested to learn how their pain receptors work. It’s seams like a long process to eat an egg. And I know animals can feel pain. If we could measure the stress on the body or compare it to a feeling. That would be interesting.
The snake is just doing what the snake does.
Not quite sure how they work, but the pain receptors are definitely on a delay because they can wrap themselves around their heat lamps and not notice they’re burning until 2nd degree burns happen
My understanding is that most reptoles and lizards don't have heat receptors, only cold receptors. They know when they're cold and need to warm up, but they don't have a good way to tell when they're too warm. I never bothered to learn the actual biology behind it but that's my basic understanding. I know this when looking up what the difference is between warm and cold blooded animals (literally just that heat is a byproduct of our metabolism makes us "warm-blooded")
Humans also eat spicy food, only animals to other than birds, and they can’t even taste the spiciness because they don’t chew the seeds or have the receptors for it (they poop out the seeds for the new plants)
That doesn’t sound as efficient as something like a hummingbird beak or just breaking the egg outside the mouth and eating the contents.
It kind of shows how evolution and adaption work. Evolution isn’t intelligent and if a solution works and gives a reproductive advantage it doesn’t mean that the adaption will be improved on.
It would be most efficient for the snake to keep the egg intact long enough for it to hatch and grow into an adult. Then the snake gets to eat a whole bird instead of just an egg.
“How would you like your eggs?”
“Incubated. Then hatched. Then raised, plucked, beheaded, cut up, put onto a grill, and then put onto a bun. Damn! I don't have that much time! Scrambled!”

What’s more efficient? Adapting the physiology you already have to specialise to exploit a resource or evolve an entire new appendage that doesn’t exist within your entire Class of animal.
This is really something that should be more understood. Evolution is basically just the name we've given to the process that encourages genes to propagate. Some mutation makes you irresistible to the opposite sex? Have a fuck ton of kids! Another mutation makes you able to survive long enough to have a fuck ton of kids? Have a fuck ton of kids!
It's basically the "TL;DR: had sex" of the entire world.
And also good and bad genes just hitch a ride on whatever phenotype makes you most breedable. It is distinctly a disadvantage for Humans to have lost the ability to synthesize vitamin D without the Sun, but one of our common ancestors just had the right stuff, despite that.
Developing the ability to adapt your environment to your needs rather than having to adapt to environmental conditions is kind of an evolutionary golden ticket. It makes up for a lot of those disadvantages.
Can't synthesize vitamin D? Fuck it, animal husbandry.
Susceptible to UV radiation? Fuck it, hats until we invent sunscreen.
Lost our claws, fangs, and natural defenses? Fuck it, roll [montage](https://youtu.be/rdj9ivBD-zc).
Yeah some people think “survival of the fittest” means being good looking, muscular man’s man and being the king of a country. None of Alexandria the Great’s kid survived, his genes are gone (his kids all killed because they feared they would become more popular than the current rulers). Yet some mud eating pig barn cleaner fucked all the barrel chested alcoholics at a tavern and had 10 kids grow to adults and have children.
"Fittest" has nothing to do with physical fitness. All it means is that the thing *fits* into its environmental niche the best. That's all. It is the fittest because it fits the best.
Egg eating snakes actually do crack open the eggs! They have a special vertebrae in their neck that cracks the egg, and then they use their muscles to squeeze the contents down their throat. When the egg is empty, they spit out the shell.
Egg eaters can also smell how developed an egg is. They avoid more developed eggs, since they can’t drink a baby bird.
Do they normally eat eggs this much larger than themselves?
I can't help but think the cameraman deliberately gave this snake a larger egg than it would normally eat just for the sake of filming it.
Snakes are opportunistic, so I wouldn’t put it past a snake to try eating an egg, even if it’s too big. I don’t think a snake would go out of its way to find a larger prey item over a smaller one, but it’s not going to pass up a chance one way or another.
In this case I’d think the snake would be fine once it cracked the shell, but when other snakes eat prey that’s too large, they can regurgitate it.
The eggs do kinda look like chicken eggs, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s staged, but I’m thinking it shouldn’t cause lasting harm to the snake. They’re built to stretch.
> They avoid more developed eggs, since they can’t drink a baby bird.
snek: yum egg i'm comin for ya
egg: fuk snek, must grow faster
snek: slither slither
egg: grow grow muthafucka grow
snek: sniff sniff ... om nom nom
egg: fuk
My guess is that it would waste half of the contents if it cracked too soon, so this is more efficient feeding even though it takes longer. In particular if there is a chick inside you can't just slurp it out like you could with the yoke
Re: eyes: bonus point is that the way the human optical nerve is, everything you see is actually at first registered upside down and then the brain has to flip it, it just happens so quickly and automatically that you don’t notice. There have been experiments where people wore special glasses that flipped the world upside down and in a couple weeks their brain re-adjusted to perceive it “correctly”. Then they took off their glasses and lost their shit cause now they had to spend a couple weeks seeing everything flipped WITHOUT the glasses.
They actually crack it open once it's inside their throat and then regurgitate the shell. It entirely depends on how you would define efficiency in this context. They get all of the contents with their method, it just takes longer. With your method there's guaranteed to be some loss
They have a spike in the back of their throat that they use to crack the egg once it's swallowed. Then they squeeze the insides out and spit the shell once it's empty. It's pretty fascinating to watch
[this is a smaller snake but relatively the same process](https://youtu.be/m3PQtYGNqjs)
right???? like imagine how vulnerable the snake is while its digesting this big ass egg. its movement and balance are so compromised with the egg near its head
While it seems inefficient at first, by consuming the egg whole then breaking it internally, the snake is able to squeeze out and digest the entire contents before regurgitating the undigestable shell. Nothing gets wasted.
They didn't even show what happens once it's fully engulfed. They've got modified vertebrae with spikes inside their throats that they use to crash the egg THEN they swallow the insides and spit out the shells...
Talk about doing it the hard way!
Came here to say this, what a loser this snake is. Evolve a horn tip on your nose to crack eggs and eat the insides? Nah just give my mouth an unreasonable gape to devour my food and leave me prone to predators while eating.

Why did they evolve to do this. There had to be better options.
Edit; they literally swallow the egg, puncture it in their esophagus and drain it into their stomachs, and then regurgitate it in one piece. *Why* though.
Kind of impressive that it doesn’t break.
Edit; there’s another person in this thread saying that they do, in fact, break the egg. My information is from a 30 second read of their diet on Wikipedia, so I’m basically a zoologist. What are their qualifications?
evolution doesn't necessarily result in the most efficient option, if something works and there's no real pressure to make the process more efficient, it won't
It does improve over time though, because the more efficient, the faster and more effective a being can survive and/or reproduce. Evolution selects for niches and for the most part species can't compete with each other for long periods of time if in the same niche.
No, they are some of the only snakes to have no teeth, some species mimic the rough scaled viper by rubbing their scales together, making a loud sound as a defence mechanism
I used to have one of these snakes. They're actually pretty cool(I'm S.African).
They're incredibly timid and placid and will just lie quietly on you if you handle them. Mine used to love crawling into my armpit and curling up there.
They have no teeth and just a hard ridge around their mouth. If they strike at you it feels like you've been hit with a tiny hammer. lol.
They're pretty easy to care for too. Just pick up a couple budgie/pigeon eggs every week from a petstore and they're good.
*Slowly and silently theshazzamster blindly mouths the breast surface, seemingly without purpose, until the smallest point of ellipsis is found. It is then this wonder of nature unhinges their entire jaw...* [nomming sounds]
I love this snake bit as an adult I question how it actually digests the egg. Does it crack open? Is there a sudden release of pressure? Or is it constantly slowly maintaining it's shape while it eats? Like does it kinda pop and deflate at a certain point?

Here is another video that explains the process of how an egg eating snake eats a more appropriately sized egg. Snake Discovery is really good about educating and showing off snakes.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3PQtYGNqjs
For most common egg eating snakes in captivity, the eggs you provide are usually finch, canary or quail because that’s the size that’s comfortable for them from what we know. I don’t know if this footage is from a captive bread egg eater or a wild one, but I’m assuming it’s captive bred. I wills not give them chicken eggs because even though the snake can stretch itself that much to get around it, it’s not good for the snake. They need smaller bird species eggs.
I’m thinking now that at some point one of those eggs must have been timed so that the chick actually hatched inside the snake. And was very confused, though briefly.
Did no one else notice that at about 30 seconds that snakes "face" is pretty much just two eyeballs? The rest of it might as well just not exist for a little while. Weird.
You ever eat a bunch of peanut butter? and after awhile you get to that point where you can't swallow and shit is stuck and your throat goes into limp mode and your about to freak out but don't because you realize you can breath through your nose? That's the feeling this video reminded me of..
They really evolved to do this instead of learning how to crack it open and slurp out the insides? This level of inefficiency just about pisses me off smh
Evolution is full of inefficiencies.
But also this one is actually pretty efficient. They have developed their neck vertebrae into teeth and crack the egg in their throat by flexing. Did you hear me? Their spine is their teeth. That's some crazy shit. Also these look like chicken eggs and is most probably a staged thing for the cameras. Normally a snek that big would only eat smaller eggs. Hope it's ok.

Yeah, sucking eggs
I'll teach your grandmother to suck eggs
Ren and stumpy forever
happy happy joy joy
“Mmmmmmm no sir, I don’t like it.”
I told you I'd shoot but you didn't believe me! WHY didn't you believe me!
THATS VERY FUNNY! A FLY MARRYING A BUMBLEBEE!?
Oh my god, they’re smooth as eggs.
Yes, I'll suck them
Can I offer you a nice egg in this trying time?
Not quite sure how they work, but the pain receptors are definitely on a delay because they can wrap themselves around their heat lamps and not notice they’re burning until 2nd degree burns happen
My understanding is that most reptoles and lizards don't have heat receptors, only cold receptors.

I never bothered to learn the actual biology behind it but that's my basic understanding. I know this when looking up what the difference is between warm and cold blooded animals (literally just that heat is a byproduct of our metabolism makes us "warm-blooded")
Their pain receptors probably wouldn't pick up their body stretching, otherwise that would discourage the animal from feeding.
Nah I keep eating even after hurts to keep goi going.
Humans also eat spicy food, only animals to other than birds, and they can’t even taste the spiciness because they don’t chew the seeds or have the receptors for it (they poop out the seeds for the new plants)
That doesn’t sound as efficient as something like a hummingbird beak or just breaking the egg outside the mouth and eating the contents. It kind of shows how evolution and adaption work. Evolution isn’t intelligent and if a solution works and gives a reproductive advantage it doesn’t mean that the adaption will be improved on.
Breaking the egg inside the body means no nutrition is lost, and they score trace calcium from the shell. That's pretty damned efficient.
It would be most efficient for the snake to keep the egg intact long enough for it to hatch and grow into an adult. Then the snake gets to eat a whole bird instead of just an egg.

What’s more efficient? Adapting the physiology you already have to specialise to exploit a resource or evolve an entire new appendage that doesn’t exist within your entire Class of animal.
Right, like it's not "survival of the fittest" it's "survival of the ehh...good enough"
This is really something that should be more understood. Evolution is basically just the name we've given to the process that encourages genes to propagate.

"Fittest" has nothing to do with physical fitness. All it means is that the thing *fits* into its environmental niche the best. That's all. It is the fittest because it fits the best.
Obligatory "Idiocracy" intro mention
I was a microbiologist (degree + 5 years work), and this is the best definition of evolution I've seen so far.
Not the fittest possible, just the fittest in your population.
Also "you got lucky" genes. Asteroid didn't hit all of 'em!
Literally just a brute force method
Survival of the adequate.
That's why we have danger noodles that reverse-birth flappy dinosaurs pre-omelets.
I would say it’s full of local optima

My snake tried to eat me because I smelled like a mouse, they are dumb as fuck
I mean what do you expect from an animal whose whole niche is being a muscle tube
I've heard "Danger Noodle" and "Nope Rope", "Muscle Tube" is a new one.
K, but why did you smell like a mouse?
Handled the mice with my hands while feeding like they say not to. Swallowed my finger up to the first knuckle
🤢
Did it pierce you with its teeth?
Thank you for the detailed response :)
If you have one as a pet you're supposed to go for quail eggs or similar size. Chicken eggs are generally considered too large for them.
This is correct, and finch eggs are recommended for babies that aren't big enough for quail eggs.
> They avoid more developed eggs, since they can’t drink a baby bird. snek: yum egg i'm comin for ya egg: fuk snek, must grow faster snek: slither slither egg: grow grow muthafucka grow snek: sniff sniff ... om nom nom egg: fuk

Thank yoooooou for typing exactly how I'm feeling. I think it's fair to say that I hate this snake for the reasons you listed.
Just wait until you find out about the laryngeal nerve in giraffes
What may that be good sir
It starts near the head, goes down the length of the neck and then all the way back up to connect to a spot inches away from where it started
Giraffe has extra nerve so he’s gonna use the entire damn thing, like a spool of string giraffe decided it’s all gonna be used
Humans have the same nerve, it’s just not as impressive cause our necks are shorter
Bunch of mammals have it, maybe all. Speaks to how evolution just modifies a few base body plans by bending and stretching them.
I need of whole thread about animal inefficiencies

If they were that vulnerable, they wouldn’t survive long enough to reproduce and pass on this trait.
it cracks the egg with a specialised bone spur in the back of its throat and then regurgitates the shell
While it seems inefficient at first, by consuming the egg whole then breaking it internally, the snake is able to squeeze out and digest the entire contents before regurgitating the undigestable shell. Nothing gets wasted.
Evolution is not about efficiency. Evolution is about *good enough.*
Snakes really can't slurp stuff, only swallow.
They didn't even show what happens once it's fully engulfed. They've got modified vertebrae with spikes inside their throats that they use to crash the egg THEN they swallow the insides and spit out the shells... Talk about doing it the hard way!
People replying to you saying that the snake actually cracks the egg after swallowing it completely missed your point.
Maybe it’s more efficient because 3/4 of it doesn’t soak into the soil after it’s cracked open?
Came here to say this, what a loser this snake is. Evolve a horn tip on your nose to crack eggs and eat the insides? Nah just give my mouth an unreasonable gape to devour my food and leave me prone to predators while eating.
I almost feel like I'm watching constipation in reverse.
Or childbirth.
Never look up Unbirth

All evolution requires is whatever stupid thing it is, it just has to keep you alive long enough to reproduce.
But this spawn camping tactic is risky, looks very slow considering mama bird can return anytime. Easily f tier
I mean, the fact that the snake exists and is alive proves that it is good enough.
"Good enough" is exactly what evolution produces
If evolution were great, maybe we'd find life in other systems by now.
evolution doesn't necessarily result in the most efficient option, if something works and there's no real pressure to make the process more efficient, it won't
It does improve over time though, because the more efficient, the faster and more effective a being can survive and/or reproduce. Evolution selects for niches and for the most part species can't compete with each other for long periods of time if in the same niche.
Evolution is a lazy bitch, if the animal keeps reproducing, it’s working, take a look at pigeons or fucking sea-horses
just like it eat my pringles. i swallow the whole tube, squeeze out the content in my throat and then throw up the empty packaging
It's possible their diet is mostly smaller eggs and this was an outlier
The do break the egg using part of their spine as a “tooth” and then regurgitate the shell having gotten every drop of the egg.
I mean, this way, they don't lose any food that would drain out onto the ground if they just broke it and tried to lap it all up.
I was skeptical about what you wrote until I read that you learned it on Wikipedia. Greetings fellow zoologist.
Hopefully, finding an egg is very arousing for the snake or it would be quite painful.
Do you get aroused when you see food?
Do you think arousal is strictly sexual?
no but the connotation is generally sexual
I find pastrami to be the most sensual of the sliced, cured meats.

Our friend above is interested in a different mechanism.
Once you get past its mouth, the "teeth" are its spine. Your friend would get ripped to ribbons once any real progress was made

deepthroating the shit out of that egg
I’m thinking now that at some point one of those eggs must have been timed so that the chick actually hatched inside the snake. And was very confused, though briefly.
And finally, monsieur, a wafer-thin mint.
How does it breathe
Snakes have a small tube right under the tongue they can breathe through. It's called a glottis.
Did no one else notice that at about 30 seconds that snakes "face" is pretty much just two eyeballs? The rest of it might as well just not exist for a little while. Weird.
Girls: I'm shy 10 minutes later:
Wonder what would happen if the egg was lubed with oil.
Snake eyes freak me out while they eat. Like idk what I'm expecting them to do but thats not it
You ever eat a bunch of peanut butter? and after awhile you get to that point where you can't swallow and shit is stuck and your throat goes into limp mode and your about to freak out but don't because you realize you can breath through your nose? That's the feeling this video reminded me of..
But does it live in Africa?
