Moment a huge pet snake called Sprinkles devours a whole rabbit

If you're not of a fan of snakes - or if you love rabbits - look away now.

This is the moment a three-and-a-half-metre long olive python called Sprinkles devoured an entire rabbit for her dinner.

Owner Scott Kickham recorded feeding time at his home in Brisbane, revealing his snake's incredible appetite.

In the video, 11-year-old Sprinkles is seen eagerly waiting for Mr Kickham to feed him the dead rabbit.

The snake owner carefully slides open the door of the enclosure and peeks her head out.

In a sudden lunge, the python wraps her body around the rabbit and grips on tight as she starts to feast on her prey.

Mr Kickham then helps the snake back into her home so she can eat her food in peace.

The snake enthusiast said Sprinkles is "hungry all the time" but that he only has to feed her monthly.

The giant python is so large that Mr Kickham has to buy dead, frozen rabbits from a pet store for her to eat.

"I don't like feeding pre-purchased [rabbits] to my snake but she's to big for rats," he explained.
