Have any of you seen snake cannibalism in the wild? It doesn't seem to be common knowledge, but I have seen footage of two separate incidences of a children's python trying to eat another snake - both were bigger than the childreni. The local newspaper here has also published a few photos of brown snakes eating each other. I uploaded one of the childreni videos to Wikipedia a few years ago, if anyone's interested. And a workmate of mine just turned up with photos of what looks like a children's fighting with/attempting to eat a keelback. I don't want to push her to upload them here though as they're her photos.
Edit: the video was shot in Batchelor, Northern Territory, and the shots I saw this morning were taken in Acacia, Northern Territory.
