: : With all those dilusional folks that truely belive that a large brooksi or chain king could devour a large indigo !!

: A King Cobra and a Mussaranna.

: Bill Lamar told me a story of a cribo screaming down a trail, trying to get away from a mussarana...it didn't get away.

: DT

for its money. Little detail thats been left out:

Eastern Indigos eat a WIDE variety of things, snakes are but 1 out of that list that also include such creatures as ; Fish, frogs, toads, birds, baby birds, eggs, salamnders, lizards, gophers, mice, rats, grasshoppers(neonates)
baby alligators, baby turtles.

Mussaranna are PRIMARILY Ophiophagous, which means that their PRIMARY PREY IS OTHER SNAKES.
I dont know about you, but my money is on the Mussaranna!!
Specialization is everything!!
