This is why not all snakes are bad snakes.

Awesome series of pics! Thanks for sharing and Jon, thanks for changing them for all of us to see.
 
no prob, now i have some cool snake pics on my computer. maybe i'll claim to have taken them. :grinyes:

kidding. ;)
 
Hmm. Thats pretty cool. I must admit though, I am suprised...
How does a non venomous snake eat a live rattler without getting bitten and killed by it?
They immune to the venom or something?

BTW the Indigo is now a threatened species in some states in the USA...

sometimes it just comes down to getting that bite on the head just right... luck of the draw and who's quicker..
 
Yes thank you JRR.

Zigman, Most of the time it is that they are faster or stronger. If you look at the 1st pic he has the rattlers head so there wasn't going to be anymore biting. LOL. I figure that the rattler thought that he was going to come up to the indigo and pass on by when the indigo snapped into action and had the rattler just where he wanted him.
