My dad and I killed this rattlesnake in our food plot we encountered it several times but eventually killed it afraid it would end up in our blind we hung it the tree because for some reason my dad thinks that will make it rain 2 days later when I went back to check the trail cam this king snake was eating it in the tree seen plenty of king snakes eat other snakes but thought this was cool

Amazing! I wonder if he's done eating yet. Looks like he was gonna be there a while.

Cool, I'd think it would be easier for him to eat it on the ground. Wonder how and why he hung him on the branch.

Here's one from my parent-in-laws garden. Heard a horrible sound coming from the house and it was downing a rabbit! They are so cool.

Thanks for the comments I thought it was awesome myself both snakes were gone 2 days later but not sure if the king snake finish the job or if a hawk or other predator came and got them. the king snake was alive and still eating while I was there taking pictures but it's hard to believe he ate the whole thing, and yes it rained 4 days later but I don't believe in all that
