I placed a four and a half foot Ball Python in with my 5 foot Dumerils during cage moving. A bit later, I came in to find the Dumerils had squeezed the Ball to death. I removed the Ball in an effort to salvage it. The ball pythons neck area was clearly broken. Upon placing the ball back into the tank, the Dumerils proceeded to constrict the dead Ball again and a short time later consumed it.
I've never read anything on Dumerils eating other snakes.
Thank you.
