Our daughter was fortunate enough to witness this and took this picture of a King Snake coiled around the head of a Water Moccasin.
Later the King Snake began swallowing the Moccasin. He had the Moccasin's head in his throat when our grandson who is in the first grade entered the scene. He shot the Moccasin with his little Daisy BB Gun and the King Snake took off.
Not something we see every day. Too bad the king snake didn't like to have the cotton mouth dispatched by someone else but maybe not swallowing some lead along with the snake is better anyway.
Maybe next time invoke The Federation's prime directive

Nice set of shots I love it. The snake that is being eaten is not a water moccasin though but rather just a water snake. Cool pics anyhow though.
Thanks for the ID of the water snake and for your kind words.
