Iguana vs Snakes! INTENSE!!

If you have something so weird, strange or off-topic to post and think it doesn't belong in any other forum; you're probably right. Please put all your gormless, half-baked, inane, glaikit ideas in here. This might also be a place where we throw threads that appear elsewhere that don't belong ANYWHERE end up, instead of having to flush them. FORUM RULES STILL APPLY.

The snakes have teeny mouths and no cleavers or other knives - opposable thumbs.

How can they dismember and share a whole young iguana?

Jamie is right but if we watch the clip again we will see that the skinny snakes' mouths, even at their fullest sort-of-dislocated extension/enlargement
are simply inadequate to the task of swallowing so (comparatively) large a prey. These are not immense pythons, boa constrictors or anacondas.
