Brisbane man's snake makes quick meal of whole rabbit

Watch as this 3.5 metre olive python called "Sprinkles" takes no time to make a meal of a whole rabbit.

Its owner, Brisbane man Scott Kickham, had the camera rolling as he brought in a delectable dish – a whole rabbit carcass.

The 11-year-old Sprinkles was visibly excited about the feed, raising its long body up and pressing up against the glass in anticipation of the bunny about to be in its tummy.

When the glass door of its home opens, Sprinkles strikes at the rabbit with speed, wrapping its body around its dinner still in its owner's hand.

Mr Kickham places the snake back in its home to finish off the meal.
