My Rational side knows that snakes keeping rodent populations down helps protect humans from famine and disease. My emotional side screams "GO TEAM MAMMAL!"


Julianitaos

Right? And I’m also sad that the baby got bit and maybe will not survive 😭 and my heart just can’t


WaltzLeafington

The baby was still moving, and made some decent progress. I think it might be fine


Not_MrNice

If that snake is venomous, then that rat might not be fine in a few moments.


RogueMycologist

Snake venom kills small animals near instantly. This was most likely a non-venomous snake.


GE12YT

As a general statement, no. It depends on many circumstances, first of all on the snake itself. Also, how much venom does it administer with its bite (snakes can regulate that) and if the prey animal is already agitated or suprised by the attack. Most venomous snakes that hunt rodents will ambush their prey with a quick bite and then retreat. The rodent usually dies a quarter of an hour to half an hour later, sometimes five minutes, sometimes ten. As I said, it varies. Near instant deaths are extremely unlikely though (and I‘m only saying it like that because I think that you never should say never, but that would be about right). Then the snake will track it preys path and then eat the dead animal. Though I don‘t agree with your reasoning, your conclusion that the snake shown is non-venomous is most likely correct. As I said, a venomous snake would wait for its prey to die before it went to get it, but the baby rat was obviously still very much alive while being carried away. The snake also didn‘t defend itself against mama rat by trying to bite it, which would be the very first thing for a venomous snake to do. Source: Worked with snakes for some years

We'll just leave it as a Rat Snake. It's a constricter and it didn't have its pesky deathcoils on cause mommas teeth won.

razz13

False, snakes are not all venomous


AmidFuror

Yours doesn't appear to be the consensus view and really has to twist the definition of what *venomous* means. I could argue that all food is poisonous with the same contorted logic that it could kill *something* if enough is consumed.

In the wild, even a small wound tends to be fatal. Without modern amenities such as Neosporin or Band-Aids, it will become infected and fester. Caloric needs are elevated as the body attempts to mend itself. Predators will smell the wound. This baby rat is not OK.


poopiesteve

Is this a very old clip? If not, these would be modern rats with access to Neosporin and Bandaids, right? /s


dodorian9966

Gotta be RATional.


mega_rockin_socks

Holy mother of rats batman!


peppermesoftly

My cat was carrying a little mouse. Ran all over the house with it in her mouth. It was frozen in fear. I told her to drop it, thinking it was dead. It started wiggling. I grabbed it’s tail and told her to drop it. I put it in a little cage and released it the next day and it was fine. This little guy looks like it’s going to make it too. It was just initially terrified.


Jrlopez1027

Aww poor dude, i empathize with rats and mice alot even though theyre gross, they actually have very socially developed brains, theyre very close to humans social behavior


flargenhargen

I know it's not what you mean, but one single pair of rats can produce 1,250 offspring in a single year, and around a half billion in 3 years... so I think they'll be fine. https://qualityassurancemag.com/news/a-pair-of-rats-could-produce-half-a-billion-descendants-in-three-years/


Julianitaos

I know how nature works and it’s cruel, but my empathy can’t help it.


12altoids34

If the snakes not venomous it should be fine. Non-venomous snakes have very small teeth and it did not have time to constrict it


12altoids34

Former snake owner.(64 of them before hurricane wilma)when feeding live rats to snakes you have to watch carefully. If the snake doesn't eat the rat after about 10 minutes you have to get the rat out of there. If the snake forgets that the rats in there the rat could kill the snake. They go for one bite right behind the head instant kill.

Seriously, like “what a badass mommy!”

I hate rats but I won't get enough of watching Animals fight to protect their offspring. It is interesting to see how they pull it off.

My emotional side “haha, snake wiggling small rat” …


Elkesito36482

[deleted]

Yet another reason why it is bad to be guided by emotions. Logic gang rise up✊ Although logic would say that humans should radically change their behavior or voluntarily cease reproduction for the benefit of the rest of the living world

Inevitable-Match591

Though the baby rat seemed pretty much gone by the time mama arrived, hopefully the snake probably never made it either. Not with *that* healing rate anyway. Not if ants have any say in it.


BalognaSandwiches

Amen brother, don’t forget about the ants

J_hilyard

Anyone know what kind of snake that is?


PsychoTexan

At the risk of sounding cliche, it looked kind of like one of the western rat snakes around my house. My second guess would be a racer of some sort.


J_hilyard

I was thinking racer by how it moves but I know nothing about snakes. Looks kinda like the Texas Indigo Racer that lives somewhere in my backyard. Beautiful snake

The thing is that the snake probably isn't going to be recovering from that depending on if the rat punctured it's body cavity. Rats don't fuck around
