You might want to make the picture just a teeny bit larger than a postage stamp.

Yeah that one is a little to small to see......

OK OK fixed it for ya

That is cool. Is that a black king snake?

Thanks. My eyes ain't near as good as they used to be. Cool pic though.

That's what I was thinking. Eating a copperhead I believe.

Yep, king snake eatin a copperhead. Pretty decent size snakes, too.

This is a great example of why you should not kill a king snake.
Good stuff.

That is a speckled king snake...the yellow just isnt coming thru real good in the pic

Spent about 4 hours three years ago or so watching and photographing that very thing. Think I posted the pictures way back then. Pretty neat to watch. Both were really large snakes then, too. The speckled king snake was around 5' and the copper head was just slightly smaller. When he was done the king snake was as big around as my arm. He looked like he wouldn't be able to move and I really expected him to just lay there for hours, but about 10 minutes later he was long gone.

wife took these about two years ago at her sisters house

My wife's comment - "cool, it'll be easier to kill em both that way".....

That King Snake is one bad dude. You couldn't pay me to get within 10 ft of a Copperhead, let alone try to eat him up.
