louisiana speckled king snake vs yellow-bellied water snake


we adore king snakes and dont really have anything against rat a/k/a chicken snakes water snakes, however, we would have preferred that it would have been a cottonmouth instead.

we couldnt get a clip or photo of the king snake actually consuming the rat snake because after it killed it, it drug it down a hole.
