Took a second to investigate kings eating other snakes...holy flippin'!

(Sorry that's it D-Channel....probably in a studio)

The king is so fast the rattler didn't have time to flinch before it had
a face full of King snake.

No intention to hijack, just really impressed with what that King puts away.




Purell your hands before picking up the king.

Its pretty crazy what theyre capable of especially for how placid they typically are in captivity. I saw something years ago about them on discovery chan where a king was eating a corn close to the same size to its self. It ate the corn and they showed an xray shot of it with the corn inside it and the corn was zig zaged inside it to try and make it fit but there was still a few inches of tail hanging out of the mouth and it had to regurg the whole thing. the entire process took around 4 hours lol.
