We have seen giant snakes gulping big animals like calves, deers, monkeys etc. Yet, many might not have seen a snake swallowing another snake. However, it was seen in a recent video.
In a recent video posted to Instagram, it was seen that a King Cobra pulls out another comparatively big size snake out of its hole and completely gulps it. We can see in the video that the prey snake is trying its best to get freed out of the grip of the king cobra. It is twisting and making other efforts to get rid of the Cobra, but in vain. Towards end of the clip we can see that the King Cobra swallows the tail portion of the prey snake.

Giving their reactions netizens have mentioned about the King Cobra. While a few users write ‘The KING’ perhaps for the king Cobra, another writes, “Everything in nature behind it there is wisdom, God in creation deep meanings but hard movements.”
Another user write, “Wow love seeing the king cobra in action… one of the most majestic of all snakes n the only snake that feeds on other snakes. A very intimidating sanke yet it doesn’t have a bad temper unlike the black Mamba.”

I think you are doing a mistake in identifying the snakes. It is king cobra that is being gulped by the other snake.
I wish Facebook would show other animals or mamalls on their sight. These slithering things make me cringe and I’ll. I don’t watch them and I saw too many in my lifetime. They are killers of baby chicks ..baby birds..and other defenseless animals. I feel they have their place but not in my space….
Its a large king eating a smaller king. They are cannibals.
