MONSTER PYTHON CAUGHT IN ELECTRIC FENCE IN AFRICA (Confirmed on Snopes.com )

Additional pictures appear on the Silent Valley Ranch's web site, which describes them as picturing an African rock python:

This is a young Royal Python, (Python Regius), having his first meal, a southern short-tailed shrew (Blarina carolinensis).  The python has already constricted and killed the shrew and is in the process of consuming it head-first.  I know these two species do not overlap in their ntive environments (i.e. sympatric species), but royal pythons are so common in the herp trade that I'm sure there are a few loose ones breeding in the Everglades and you can bet the babies are eating shrews.  The snake measures 15" long and the shrew is 3.5" long.  Together they are 8.5" long x 3.5" wide x .75" tall, fixed in this life-like pose.  Lots of long, sharp teeth in the python, and beautiful chestnut-colored teeth in the shrew.  Every bone is intact.

Often they gape repeatedly, exposing the "cotton" colored interior of their mouths.  Highly toxic.  47" long, 5" in circumference, fangs are 3/8" long and needle sharp!  DISPLAY ONLY; Skeleton articulation and photography by Steve Huskey  SOLD

Extremely long and slender arboreal snake from South America.  Unlike most venomous snakes, it is rear-fanged, fixed in position as the last set of teeth in the jaws, which is believed to help it swallow whole bird eggs while still maintaining deadly venom for defense.  45" long.    Display only; Skeleton articulation and photography by Steve Huskey  SOLD

Crotalus atrox, the 2nd largest species of rattlesnake in the world, they reach up to six feet.  This is a four foot rattler that was kept as a pet for 10 years in Florida, and died of old age.  They eat small mammals, birds, reptiles and have been known to eat juvenile gila monsters.  Their venom is a hemotoxic, necrotic type which destroys blood tissue and kills tissue cells.  It is poised in a strike posture with the head 3" off the ground and the mouth fully agape.  Fangs are 1/2" long and the rattle (11 buds) does rattle when shaken.  We even have the entire skin (photo below)  which is included.  Skeleton articulation and photography above by Steve Huskey

Weasel and mole skeletons.  Long-tailed Weasel (11.5" long) is attacking the Eastern Mole (7.5" long)!  Weasels attack their prey from the rear, applying a skull and vertebrae crushing bite to the back of the head to immobilize it, then commonly eat the brain first.  The Eastern Mole spends nearly all its life underground tunneling through yards and golf courses.  They tunnel by "swimming" with their adept front legs, pulling dirt to the rear and pushing it back with their rear legs.  They eat grubs and earthworms.  This one unfortunately ventured too long on the surface and was caught by the weasel!  Skeleton articulation and photography by Steve Huskey

So are grandparents...

Dear Abby,

I recently read your column advising grandparents on "tough love" for
grandparents to give misbehaving grandchildren, whose own parents let
them
run wild.  I have followed your advice, and enclose a picture
demonstrating
my technique when my grandson just won't behave while I'm baby-sitting
for
his parents.  They have told me not to spank him, so I just take him for
a
ride, and he usually calms down afterward.

 Sign me,
 Tough Love Grandma
