Adaptive maternal cannibalism in snakes (Epicrates cenchria maurus, Boidae)
This cannibalism has been interpreted in two ways: (1) as a form of parental care (to prevent disease spreading to healthy littermates, and eliminate predator-attracting scent cues); or (2) to recycle otherwise wasted energy, thus facilitating maternal recovery.
