Fig. 3. Percentage of ingested meal that was recovered within the stomach (A) and
small intestine (B) of Python brongersmai, P. molurus, P. regius, P.
reticulatus and P. sebae 2 days after the consumption of rodent
meals equaling 25% of their body mass (N=3 for each species). There
was significant variation in the percentage of the ingested meal remaining
within stomachs among the species, as both P. brongersmai and P.
regius had more of the meal still remaining than P. reticulatus
and P. sebae. By contrast, there was no variation in the percentage
of the ingested meal left in the small intestine. In A, letters above bars
that are different denote significant (P<0.05) differences between
means as determined from post hoc pairwise comparisons.
