Tiger Snake interacting with Blue-tongue

[Vikingtimbo]

Hi,

I've filmed a couple of interesting interactions between a Tiger Snake and an Eastern Blue-tongue that live not far from me. They were both quite different and under different circumstances. Anyway I thought people might be interested.

This encounter was an accident (actually it was my fault):

This next one was no accident at all:

Never mess with a Blue-tongue!

Excellent video Tim, Tigers do eat bluies, but only young ones.
I had a tiger disgorge two baby bluies in my snakebag once..
My stomach is jumping thinking about it

Great videos. Loved the second one, it was a real eye opener. Would never have thought a bluey would actutally go after a venomous snake.

I guess the tiger was a bit of a softy an a bluff
