Will a snake attack another snake?

Question

I particularly want to know if a Venomous snake will attack another Venomous snake, but snakes attacking other snakes in general would be useful.

Answer 1

Yes they do attack each other.There are two snakes that I know of that would attack and eat other snakes.One is the venomous King Cobra and the other is the non-venomous Cape File Snake.I read one of your answers and the participant mentioned a non-venomous King Snake.I will have to check up on that.

OK I went to check and they do eat other snakes as well.Live and learn.

Answer 2

Yes, indeed there are many ophiophagous (snake-eating) snakes, particularly the members of family Elapidae (including the cobras and coral snakes).
Here in Argentina there's at least one ophiophagous Colubridae, the mussurana or "velvet snake" (Clelia clelia).

Answer 3

King snakes (non-venomous) prey on venomous snakes.
