whole Photo series of Cannibalism in Common krai
Phone clicks
I was very lucky to document one of the rarest moment.
(Bungarus caeruleus)
Venomous
.
Here's the story behind this documentation, i got a call of 2 snakes fighting for around an hour just outside an entrance of a society. As i reached the spot i saw they were Common kraits and the larger one was trying to feed on the another krait who was on moult. Krait feeding on several snakes has been reported many times but this type of cannibalism is happens quite rare and i was lucky enough to witness one. Here's the whole photo series of cannibalism in common krait. And soon later the snake was rescued and was bagged safely so that it won't vomit (regurgitate), while releasing the snake I was happy to see that the snake didn't regurgitate.
A juvenile. Probably a zawi, although neck collar typically absent in adults is present in this individual.
The snake was found in a wild banana patch, in the centre of a large stream (>10m width). It regurgitated an arboreal Snail-eating Pareas sp. indicating this is a snake eating species.
About 2 feet long slim, a small bronzeback was sighting nearby an open gym at the spot.. but I can't say the right name which bronzeback is it... This is my sighting...
Found this snake in 2019 over a pile of garbage dumped by the sea during high tide. When I tried to approach close it plays dead by twisting its head over which can be seen in second image.
This species is frequently seen in this area but nobody is aware about it.. Suddenly I found this in the area...
This is one of the frequently seen species in the village. And can not be identified the species yet.
Seen on a muddy road, not very long about 40 to 50 cm. slender.
Seemed to not like the muddy road surface and when trying to move seemed to move slowly despite slithering hectically, Eventually shepherded off the road to grassy sides where it quickly disappeared into undergrowth
