INFORMATION PROVIDED WITH THE PHOTO

date of photo Aug 8, 2005

location YMCA Camp Ravencliff, near Redway, CA (Humboldt County, California, US)

notes The kingsnake was eating the young rattlesnake. I also got some digital video footage of the kingsnake wrestling with the rattlesnake, and eating it. The rattlesnake was just slightly smaller than the kingsnake, and only had one rattle on its tail. The kingsnake swallowed the entire rattlesnake, head-first, in less than ten minutes.
