Thai Woman’s Heart-Stopping Moment: Snake Devours Her Cherished Cat

October 26, 2023 by Pham Hien

The Burmese python goes beyond the post-meal bulge: Its intestines and other organs grow too, and these changes happen within days of eating.

A recent study in Physiological Genomics examined how the organs can grow so much so soon.

The Burmese python takes about 10 days to digest its meal. Within two days of eating, its metabolism and digestive processes are working 10 to 44 times faster. Three days after eating, its heart, liver, small intestines and other organs have grown to up to double in size.

The meal is digested by the 10th day after eating, and these bodily changes have reversed. The Burmese python shrinks and returns back to its pre-meal state to go through this cycle again the next time it eats.

The researchers found that the expression of at least 2,000 genes changed after the snake ate. To their surprise, most of the shifts occurred soon after eating—within six hours.
