AI Overview

 

 

The snake in the image is likely a Dog-toothed Cat Snake (Boiga cynodon). 

It is a large, nocturnal, rear-fanged snake native to Asia.

The species is known for its narrow neck and bulbous head with a rounded snout.

It is tan to yellowish-brown with dark brown or black markings.

The snake is not considered dangerous to humans, as its venom is mild.

The name "Dog-toothed Cat Snake" comes from its enlarged front teeth, which may assist in feeding

Never eaten before, though the wife does along with any species that her family and friends happen to catch, they consider all snakes pest/nuisance and fair game.

Eating animals is disgusting, and entirely against Buddhist philosophy as espoused by Siddhartha Gautama.

How many animals do you have to kill to clear forest & fields to plant food for vegans ???

 

How many more do you kill with pesticide & traps to keep them from eating those plants for vegans?

 

Plants scream and crying out at a frequency humans can't hear when distressed & killed.  To live, you have to kill ... FACT

 

 

On topic as always .... them pythons like eating their munchies whole and alive sometimes.

 

YUMMY

Na, good Buddhists eat animals, but they do not kill it 😉 Even Siddhartha Gautama did eat meat, and he might have died by food poisoning by eating contaminated pork. 

 

In Thailand many animals is red listed because they eat whatever they got their hands on, almost. Or because of deforestation, fishing with net, 

 

What do Buddhism say and value of trees?

Sure they are: The dark tiger python (ngu larm) inhabits grasslands with tree cover and sparse forests in Thailand. Often found on the edges of hills and mountains. However, individuals have also been found in downtown Bangkok, although they are nowhere near as common as the Python reticulatus. These snakes are crepuscular and nocturnal. Source: Siam Info!

Only if we lost our taste buds, because there are things here that taste pretty good, and many are animals.

Would we had any taste buds if we only digested air? 😉
