webfact Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Naew Na Thai Caption: Cunning python! It hid by a duck coop swallowing one a day Naew Na reported on what they called was a cunning python who took up residence hiding next to a duck coop helping itself to one feathered friend a day. But while that may have kept the doctor away, the snake catchers were soon on its case. Yesterday afternoon guys from Tai Teck Tung in Nakhon Sri Thammarat, southern Thailand were called to Prik sub-district in Thung Yai. There at a house Chaiyan Khongmai, 49, said that a large python had been slithering in from hollow soil by the coop. After a bit of digging they found the miscreant coiled up and soon had the 4 meter long 25 kilogram snake in custody. Chaiyan said that from 20 days ago his flock of ducks had reduced by one or two a day. He thought a two legged thief was responsible at first until he caught the snake going back to its lair, red mouthed as it were. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2022-09-02 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

I thought that pythons do not eat every day. It takes a few days for them to digest their prey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Cardano Posted September 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2022 Me thinks some Thai story telling going on here, Pythons tend to eat once or twice per month. Not everyday or even twice a day as claimed here. Why do Thai media outlets not conduct due diligence to avoid printing misleading and factually incorrect substance. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, but at least they fit in well with the "misleading and factually incorrect" comments that appear here so frequently! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What, specifically, was misleading and factually incorrect about that question? How can a question be misleading and factually incorrect, anyway? "Yup, and below is such an example" In actual fact, your comment was the one that was factually incorrect!

Eaglekott Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 I guess his ducks must be very small if he lost a few each day. Pythons eat when they get hungry. Depending on what they eat they might eat only a few times a year if they eat a big animal like an antelope. But when eat smaller preys like rats or Rabbits they eat about every 7-10 days, Young smaller Pythons eat more often than big grown up once.

loong Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Obviously, whoever writes these headlines is trying to be clever but I just don't get it! I know of "An apple a day keeps the doctor away", but a duck????? What is that about? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photoguy21 Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 I would doubt if a snake the size shown in the photo would only eat one duck a day. It isnt how they normally feed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
