California Kingsnake's Gopher Snake Meal

[@yaz447]

I’m always amazed that the snakes being attacked by snake eaters like the king almost never strike back.if you or I picked the gopher up we’d be bitten a hundred times,lol

[@uday5226]

May be that the instincts tell them that it's of no use biting King snakes as they are immune to other venomous snakes bites.

[@edumart3836]

Good defensive skills of the gopher: always trying to keep its head away from the kingsnake's head.

[@DenverHarris]

Gopher snakes are awesome. I think I would’ve had to save that one. Let the king snake find a rattlesnake.

[@mariaguns8790]

Never come in between nature. It's his meal now he earned it.

in captivity you don't put anything, I mean anything, in with a kingsnake; it'll be gone a few hours later.

[@ClearBrookExotics]

Such a beautiful gopher snake. Wish I had that in my collection.

Gopher snakes don't tame very well in captivity. Kingsnakes do.

Gopher snake can't get its head out from the king snake's coils.

[@drecochannel]

The strategy attacking of the king snake is totally similar like the indigo Snake, it means the indigo snake is a cousin of king snake.

[@davidadcock1475]

They're both colubrids...... if that tells you anything...... like milk snakes..... garter snakes.... bull snakes etc....etc...etc

[@19580822]

No. The Indigo snake is not a constrictor.

Well we didn't get to see him eat it

[@davidadcock1475]

Where's the rat snake?

[@youremybiggestfan]

Im the snake getting stroked by the other snake and thats Miley Cyrus on Molly

[@georgehenderson7783]

At the end the gopher snake's head was totally buried in the king snake's coils. On another video of a snake strangling another snake like this, someone commented that it reminded him of his ex-wife's relentless head scissors. 😅

[@megamilyon6111]

I felt like telling them to break it up and stop fighting.

[@ted.angell7609]

Me too. I grew up around both kinds and like them both. Would have been gratifying to see him go after a rattler or something.

[@Mothobius]

@@ted.angell7609 you can't bother the snakes. Let the kingsnake eat

Gopher is a squeezer type snake, surprise it didn't squeeze back the King snake to defend it's self?

[@davidadcock1475]

Constrictor is the word you're looking for

[@zorro8027]

That’s because kingsnakes “squeeze” (constrict) with twice the force than other constrictors do (pound for pound) so even if it did construct back, it would have still been killed an eaten.

[@szaki]

@@zorro8027 Gopher looks like longer than the King snake? Hard to eat something that has a longer body than the predator ? Snakes don't chew the food, just swallow! I've seen shorter snake try to swallow dead, longer snake (venom killed it), than regurgitate it back later.

[@zorro8027]

szaki Its doesnt matter if the kingsnake is too small to eat it, what my point was is that PfP king snakes constrict with 2 times the force of other constrictors and are immune to the native venom, which is why they are called kingsnakes.

[@Kvs-vf9nt]

King snakes can constrict 2 as hard as any other snake.. The consrricting power is even better than that of an anaconda. Offcourse king snakes don't get as big. 3.5feet to 5feet average.

Gopher is a constrictor. I'm surprised it didn't strike the head of the king before the king went for his.

King cobra is much bigger than a kingsnake, and would likely kill it.

[@tukangkomen630]

Yeah, not just about size. I dont think king snake can withstand the amount dose of king cobras venom for even a single bite.

Yeah the king snake is resistent to the venom. So he would also eat a coral snake.

Kingsnakes are not immune to coral snake venom. So if a king were to be bitten by a coral snake, it would be in a bit of trouble.

[@dariocszagreb3964]

Is gopher same as indigo snake?

[@tozobozo4142]

"Gopher snake" officially refers to the westernmost examples of the bull and pinesnake genus (Pituophis.) There are several types of gopher snake in the west. However, you are right in that the indigo snake sometimes goes by the colloquial name "gopher snake." This is because it likes to rest in the burrows of gopher tortoises in the southeast, who sometimes just get called "gopher" themselves for short.
