"I fed the body to my snake after the video and it wasn't wasted (I like to share),' Maloney posted to Facebook, attempting to justify his actions."
Mr Maloney later removed the controversial video but it has since been reposted, reports the Brisbane Times.
Inspectors raided the 24-year-old's home and seized 17 rats and a python, Brisbane Magistrates Court heard.
The case has been adjourned to April 7
