Thanks. After all the years of filming snakes and pythons in particular, this was the first time for me to be able to record such a rare feeding incident.

[erishkwanna]

looks like the python is winning. never would have guessed that one!

[ojatro]

Yes. The two pythons were fighting about a dead rat before the situation went out of control...

[CrazyCaitlinHart]

that is a ridiculously huge meal for that snake! he's not going to be able to move for a week lol

[davionwilliams]

Ive seen pythons eat a lot of weird things including a deer!, but never have I seen a python eat another python

[ojatro]

Any snake could swallow their own tail but I've never seen that kind of behavior...

[ojatro]

Pytons have strong digestive juices and are able to digest such large prey within one week if the weather stays warm enough.

[ojatro]

Cannibalism between snakes is quite common. King cobras and cottonmouths do feed on their on species frequently. Regardless, it extremely rare to witness pythons resorting to cannibalism as well...

This is kinda funny at the beginning. Python 2 trying to get at the rat while Python 1 is wrapped around it. XD

[ojatro]

If a smaller snake swallows a larger snake and becomes unable to fully pull its prey in, than the snake might regurgitate it to avoid harming itself.

[Dragnwind]

damn man.. that is unbelievable.. especially the alligator one.. how do they digest all that? lol.

[hardcastlemccormick]

LOL I couldn't tell who was who until fairly late in the video. Very interesting stuff.
Cannibalism!

[ojatro]

Yes. The stronger python suffocated the weaker python...

[deetee]

Wow, incredible footage. I've seen footage of king cobras eating rat snakes, but never seen two pythons fighting over a meal, leave alone the bigger python killing and eating the smaller one. Very rare!

[nhoj]

looks like the smaller one has already something in its belly. a meal within a meal.

MEALCEPTION.

[InSaNeSniiperz]

You can tell that in the beginning he wasn't trying to eat the other snake. He was just going for the rat or whatever it was and was trying to pull himself apart. Then he gave up and went for it LOL

[pochifer]

amazing, I never see before a python eating another of his kind, very rare, so many years watching videos and never see a python killing another. Typically, a king cobra and other constrictors, python but never see, a surprise for me, thanks, great job Ojatro!

[lancemorgan]

That rat is like yo yall can eat eachother just let me the fuck go!!! LMFAO

[octarianpoomtang]

awesome vid by the way, never seen a python swallow live prey like the alligator, always thought they crushed them

[LordKingKamiGuru]

A snake within a snake... Snakeception!
