I never saw that the first time. Seems I may have missed quite a bit. I am getting confused on the point of the snake killing the snake that eats it. I can see if there is a battle and the ringneck bites the king but most of the time kings are very efficient in killing their prey snake. Are the ringnecks salivating and exposing the kings that way? As far as I understood (Of course this came from a redneck snake handler in Florida) you can drink rattlesnake venom with no ill effects unless you had open wounds in your mouth. I never thought about that statement as it afforded me no useful information or at least none I wanted to test, but now I am curious. Anybody want to test that theory and let us know?? I don't understand the way the ringneck is supposed to be killing the king. I understand that nobody knows for sure but I would be interested in some theories as to what's going on.

For instance Mike you have a lot of first hand experience with the ringnecks what are you thinking is killing the kings and how. What method of delivery is used.

Later Jason
