Captive snakes are known to eat all kinds of things that they wouldn't in the wild. Also, I am willing to bet that southern ringnecks do ocassionaly eat other snakes in the wild and it's not such a rare occurence.

FWIW, I've had a captive Heterodon nasicus that consumed a Xenocrophis vittatus when they were temporarily housed together. It's definitely not happening in the wild, so I didn't consider it noteworthy.
