hello i got to see a mussie pair first time in my life in person recently i could not get over how small they were compared to indigo snake and the water cobra that were in tanks near it.

Mussurana i saw was the size of a rat snake or a thin king snake about 4 or 5 feet are they usually this small and thin or could it just be a small sub species or poor quality snakes?

ALso do mussurana constrict other snakes the way kings do? They knot around the other snakes lungs and face making it imposible for the other snake to get them off ends in a quick death for the other snake since the snake cant breath? Ive seen kings do this many times was not sure if mussies use the same predation method on other snakes i understand they also use venom which has serious effects on most snake species.
