Banded Krait Vs Water Snake (Checkered keelback)

It is very rare to see a snake eating another.
Snakes eat other snakes, they're called ophiophagic snakes.
In Tiphook Division of Amgoorie Tea Estate, this massive banded krait was seen targetting a Checkered keel back. It took him almost 2 hours to kill it and less then 15 min to eat.
It was first ever observation. Food web of Nature is amazing.
