Fascinating story, it must have been something to watch. I wish that sort of thing happened on my door step.

Cool! Sad that another snake had to be dinner but cool all the same.

I love it and I hate it. I had a smooth green in my garden all summer a few years ago. They're very cool.

It's nature. Circle of life.

also, a very rare thing to capture on "film" (I'm old)

Most likely. Wandering garter snakes are known to eat other snakes.

Good to know I'll have something to do with next years non-eater baby corns. This year I sent 4 to another breeder as a freebie, he bought 6 others.
