In ten years of having a small koi pond this is a first. I just found one of
my 14" Koi swimming around with a 10" or so garder snake hanging from his
mouth ( no way to account for how much snake is inside the fish ). Question
is will he be able to process (swallow/digest) a snake properly or is he in
trouble? I know it would be next to impossible to catch him and remove the
snake manually... lol
