#10 had it right..
Also to everyone here worried about the snakes health and why he spat it out etc., this is one of the species of snake who specialises in eating bird-eggs. Puking the shells out after it has devoured the egg is completely natural as the snake cannot digest it. The snake would definitely not prefer an omelet as all snakes only eat whole things.. they cannot eat any liquid substances or mashed textures and the sort as they lack a proper larynx.
#9 it does happen.. but about as often as a person dying from suffocation after taking too big a bite of something
Isn't nature fun kids!

saw on an Outback Australian Animal Rescue show, an adolescent snake was dying from eating a bird way to big to digest. It's wing bones had punctured the lining of the stomach, but it could never have digested it, so it would have died without surgery for both problems. She was saved by the vet, thank goodness.
