The only one I can identify is the one doing the constricting in video 1. That one is clearly a rainbow boa.

The first video is a Mussurana (Clelia clelia) that looks like it bit off more than it could handle with a Rainbow Boa.
In the second video I think the snake is a dark (melanistic) phase of the Japanese Four-lined Snake (Elaphe quadrivirgata). The snake its eating....I'm not sure. Maybe Pareas sp..

mussie just didnt get a ight strike into the rainbow boa or maybe the venom didnt effect the boa right away looks like the boa did die tho
i am so shocked though a rat snake eating another snake/ i am so use to seeing rat snakes being eaten by other snake species all the time i have never in my life seen a rat snake predating on a snake
here in north and central america they fall prey to indigo/cribo mussies and king and corals snakes often while in asia they are the snake of choice for cobras and ular welings of all species.
