Descripción de King Cobra Snake Eating Red Tailed Racer Snake - Closeups:

I got lucky to get here just as this big king cobra snake was eating this also big red-tailed racer (rat snake). I was less than 1 foot away from the king cobra here. When snakes are eating there isn't a lot that can bother them. Well, not a lot they can do. Especially when a snake eats a snake and has 2 meters of snake to get down his throat. He still had another meter of this red-tailed racer snake to go and the racer snake's tail was wrapped around a rock. So, it was slow going. The red-tailed racer he is eating was one of my favorite snakes here - a BEAUTIFUL snake. They puff up vertically when agitated - opposite of cobras. They are really cool snakes. Anyway. I just lucked into this king cobra chowing down and doing so very close to the fence. I'll post a photo or two at the king cobra page at ThailandSnakes.com because the photos were ultra clear.
