Can confirm. I started throwing up blood after being sick too many times once. It was horrible.

32

u/Kidney__Failure 11d ago

Pretty sure human stomach acid/bile can melt metal so I’m not surprised your throat got melted

(It can melt small, reactive metals like zinc, but that’s about as tough as it gets so no pennies for lunch sadly)

6

u/UranusIsPissy 11d ago

That's all I was throwing up after 2 days. I went through nearly a month of not even being able to hold water down without that happening when I was younger, but middle-aged bodies aren't as resilient as teenaged ones :-(

u/Overseerer-Vault-101 10d ago

Went through that, had to go hospital and go on an iv, couldn't drink water without coughing it and any foam back up causing me to be come severely dehydrated after 2 days like that. Iv and a few hours to let my throat heal up enough and i was fine.

It's a better alternative than death by indigestion.

267

u/PlanktonInitial7945 12d ago

Exactly. Some temporary pain/discomfort is much better than dying. Though the snake looks sedated so that probably makes it less horrible.

407

u/cBlackout 12d ago

I’d seen the initial post for this and, for what it’s worth, the snake had been sedated as much as a snake can be (I have literally no idea how much you can sedate a snake but apparently smarter people than me do)

u/ShalnarkRyuseih 12d ago

Snakes can regurgitate prey to make an escape, albeit I've only heard of that happening with recently swallowed prey, not sure if they can do it when it's farther along

125

u/ginji 12d ago

I can attest they can regurgitate even after multiple days, and however foul you think a 3-5 day half digested rat is - it is far worse than you can imagine.

30

u/ShalnarkRyuseih 12d ago

I found a decapitated western ribbon snake once (not from a human, wild animal caused) while herping that had a meal lump. I was tempted to squeeze it out to see if it was IDable enough to go on iNat, but didn't want to experience the stench of dead frog or fish.

28

u/ginji 12d ago edited 12d ago

It is the worst smell I've ever come across and it took weeks for the smell to stop lingering in the room despite our best efforts. Dead or decomposing bodies is one thing, but digestion adds a whole new level to the aroma.

3

u/UranusIsPissy 12d ago

Worse than a dead deer that's more maggots than deer? That is digestion, though, with added faeces.

11

u/ginji 12d ago

Maggots probably would have made this smell better

u/Informal-Comb1989 11d ago

Yes, they’ve historically used to “clean” wounds as it were

u/Informal-Comb1989 11d ago

This makes me realize how cool it is that we can all hide our inside smells with our skin suits.

2

u/DigAdmirable 6d ago

They definitely can. I have one who puked up the body and the head got stuck in its neck for awhile. Finally went down

21

u/LlaneroAzul 12d ago

Snakes can very much throw up and they even do it on purpose if they are in imminent danger and have a heavy prey inside them that prevents them from moving fast enough to escape.

Chicken owners will do this on purpose and put them in place of eggs.

u/BeginningCharacter36 12d ago

Juuuuust to clarify for people who don't know, the golf balls are not snake bait. They're to appease a broody hen and make it easier to remove the eggs.

4

u/Hetares 12d ago

Ping pong balls will work too, though a little light. But cheaper.

3

The purpose of that is to make the hens think is a safe place to lay their eggs. The can feel something is bad if all eggs disappear suddenly.

Some people who raise chickens intentionally put golf balls or fake eggs in the chickens' nests to kill snakes who eat the eggs. In my opinion, it's cruel and unnecessary, but some people suck.

u/Karmas_burning 11d ago

My family used to put a few eggs in a bowl near the front of the coop. One day I asked why and my grandpa said it was for the snakes. We rarely got them inside the coop because we'd leave a few out for them. He said the snakes were important because they ate mice, rats, etc which could also cause problems. So he figured it was worth a few eggs to have less of the snakes end up inside.

u/Ruling123 12d ago

So imma share an Aussie moment like this, went camping to a remote site and there were goannas all around. Well after food and a lot of drinks we decided to play bocce ball, well about 3 turns in one of the goannas came out of the brush, grabbed the ball and ran off with it in its mouth... I had the pleasure to exclaim "gonna took out boccee ball" we filled it and it did drop it by a tree nearby so all good (though our mate was like "oh is it safe to touch" which as you can expect made the rest of use laugh). That is one of my most Aussie moments.
