They say the toads they eat are too poisonous to swallow whole because they secrete toxins from their skin. This species of snake can swallow a smaller toad whole. The larger ones are too toxic to eat whole for the snake. So the snake is just resistant enough to the toads toxins to eat either small toads or organs of bigger ones in doses.

These Snakes Slice Open Toads and Eat Their Organs One-by-One While Alive

The reasons behind the snake's unusual feeding behavior remains something of a mystery.

first time i've witnessed that.
i wonder if it had to adapt to the way of eating it because it came across a cane toad?
the toxins in those can kill almost any animal that eat them.....with few exceptions like possums, ants, crows, and a few other.
other animals have learned to flip them on their backs and eating the stomach area since the toxin glands are only on its back.
never seen a snake do some shit like this tho.

Daily Double! Lioness and a Gemsbok calf she pulled from the womb of its recently deceased mother. Lions are the only cats (with the exception of male cheetah coalitions) that live in groups. The size of each pride may vary, but they max out at around 40 cats and consist of mostly female lions. All of the prides lionesses are related, and female cubs commonly remain with the pride as they age. Young males will eventually branch out and establish their own prides by killing or casting out the dominant male of another group of lions. Once the takeover is complete, the new leader of the pride will systematically murder the old males offspring, so he can pass on and nurture his own bloodline instead of the ousted ones.
