Le repas du serpent-roi (Lampropeltis getulus californae)  The snake catches the mouse, having suffocated it, by beginning generally with the head. He begins to swallow it and has already eat paws before. Ingurgitation progresses now until the middle of the rodent's body. The most difficult rest to come with the passage of the hindquarters. Indeed, folds formed towards the back of the body besides the pond of the rodent. The bigest work is ended. The tail stays... Once the swallowed tail, the grass-snake replaces its jaw in yawn. The body of the mouse is brought by an effect of crawling by the middle of the body, in the stomach, to be digested.
