Newborn Burmese Python have to move quickly away from their nest before predators picks up their sent. The Indigo Snake is a formidable snake hunter, which would not hesitate to attack and feed on rattlesnakes, cottonmouth and over vipers because it is immune to against their venom. The sent of a python hatchling just passing through its territory get his undivided attention and the hunter begins stalking its prey.
With a swift bite to the python’s head, the indigo snake subdues the hatchling, firmly holding it in its grip and blocking the prey’s airway with its powerful jaws. But good nutrition has giving the feisty young python enough strength to fight back its attacker. Still the larger indigo has no problem overpowering the smaller snake. It’s only a question of time until the python’s energy recourses have been exhausted. Through constituently pinning the young python to the ground, the attacker’s strategy is simply to tire its prey enough before swallowing it alive.
The hatchlings is loosing its strength fast and being dragged near the Indigo’s lair to avoid the risk of being discovered by other predators. The hungry snakes eats its prey fast and alive. The python hatchling is doomed and any resistance is in vain by now.
Humans represent the biggest threat to indigo snakes. Highway fatalities, wanton killings, and overcollection for the pet trade adversely affect indigo snake populations. Snakes are taken illegally from the wild for the pet trade. Eastern indigo snakes are sometimes "gassed" in their burrows by rattlesnake hunters. Indigo Snake Eats Python was filmed by Heiko Kiera aka Ojatro in 2009.
Why am I terrified of snakes yet always watch snake videos? Don’t get it
Especially with the Indigo they're super friendly and actually like to be held.
You are just like me in this case
*Baby Python* "So this is Florida, very cool!"
*One minute later*
*Eastern Indigo* "Hope you enjoyed your time in Florida"
My father always said that having an Indigo snake in our yard was a blessing.
So true! With the indigo under your house, there's no need to fear the rattlers or cottonmouth!
@@ojatro but what of Indigo itself
@@ojatro are they immune to rattlesnake venom and cottonmouth venom
@@dragontoes7805 Yes, the Eastern Indigos are immune to rattlesnake and cottonmouth venom.
@@mohit-tm4yw They are harmless and quite docile toward humans.
Not Cannibalism, they have to be the same species to be considered Cannibalism, both are snakes but not the same species. Like when a Falcon eats a Pigeon, both are birds, but they aren't the same species, so not Cannibalism.
Do King Cobras eat each other?
@@vidtuby Yes King cobras are cannibals.
So if a white person eats a black person it’s not cannibalism?
@@kingleo8048 All human alive today are (Homo sapiens) the same species of modern humans, so (Homo sapiens) eating (Homo sapiens) no matter where in the world they come from will be cannibalism.
@@kingleo8048 It is still cannibalism.
Indigo snakes are my favorite North American snake and it’s awesome watching them eat other snakes especially rattlesnakes!

Here we go again with the random 2am TH-cam recommendations. I guess I’ll sit and watch.
U r right
YOU CAN SPANK YOUR SNAKE while you watch..

Vs mnhyopb
years ago we had at least a dozen indigo's living on our property. they were actually quite friendly and lived in boro's around the property. Even though we mowed regularly the snakes remained clear of the mower as they could sense its presence. They'd come up onto our concrete porch to cool themselves in the summer and we had some chairs there that they'd actually crawl up on at times. Sometimes we moved them and they'd just stay in our laps. They never made an attempt to bite us either. They seemed to know we meant them no harm. Btw they're a LONG snake. some of "ours" were at least 8 feet long. They were still there when we finally sold the residence as we were getting older and couldn't maintain the property properly. They are endangered so if you see them NEVER attempt to harm them as they've very beneficial. They kept the frog and rodent population in check. This was in West Palm Beach.
Thanks for sharing your interesting observation on the Eastern Indigos. Indeed they are truly amazing creatures and good to have around to keep venomous snakes away.
There are snakes that will not harm humans and they protect us from them. It's a neat process😊👍

You are awesome, my fear of snakes would have me destroying something key the local eco system.
* Burroughs and yeah indigos are awesome and always welcome at my place
Respect to the camera-man for being so bold and recording the entire video
Cameraman never dies.
😊❤
Well neither are dangerous to human so why be afraid
The cameraman was in no danger whatsoever.
Bold isn't even an issue. We're not food to either one of these species,. The Eastern Indigo is an endangered species so you're not supposed to interact with them but most people that find them can't resist because they're so docile and of course, gorgeous.
Three remarks :
- The "just born" burmese python is of the size of a full grown rattle snake .
- The constriction ability of the burmese python is instinctive , he demonstrated it few seconds after he's born .
- This footage shows an example of the Everglades eco-system fighting back against the invasive species .
But all Python is powerless with King Cobra
Hasn't it been 30 years since pythons entered the everglades?
@@jayrodm643 Absolutely !
full grown pygmy rattle snake… an eastern diamond back can grow 9 feet
@@jayrodm643 I don’t think they entered by crossing an ocean, I think some people bought them as pets and they got too big to feed and handle so they dumped them in the Everglades. They should never had allowed them to be imported and sold to individuals because people are always destroying our own ecosystem and native habitat and ruining the native species by dumping things like those snakes and Lionfish out of their aquariums. Which now are killing all of the native fish that we like to eat.
Me and the reptile fans: Now THIS is quality content
The indigo snake is protected here in Florida because their popularity in the pet trade reduced their numbers drastically. They are a beneficial species to us because they eat not only venomous snakes but their eggs as well.
A
It’s habitat loss and chemicals that cause the population to decrease pet trade is a reason but it’s not the main them being used to catch rattle snakes are another reason
Pet trade saved the species actually, but go on.
Pythons aren’t healthy
Why would eating venomous snakes be beneficial as long as they are indigenous to the environment. I'd rather have them eat pythons than cottonmouths, copperheads or rattlesnakes
nice one Mr. Ojatro...keep up the good work!
I have seen some pretty big indigos in my back yard catching some sun rays and I must say they are beautiful Im so happy they are around, welcome to FLA baby!! Home of reptiles
It's good to know that our native wildlife are fighting back.
As a Floridian , I'm glad to see this- go Indigo☺
I'm python
Maybe they will rebound population wise, all that potential good eating, and non venomous to boot!
You know it. these guys are on the endangered species list.
You're footage is unique and amazing. Better than everything else.
Thank you!
We need more Indigos.
Snakes are such easy meals for other snakes, no leg , arms getting stuck while trying to swallow.
Look Ok lo lo 8od8
Makes sense, lol!

that was probably one of the coolest footages ever shot
Thank you!

I had a fat 7 footer living behind my old apartment years ago. I would see him roaming his territory for food quite often. I never had to worry about poisonous snakes with him there.
Great idea 😁👍. Me going to buy a footer 😂
Indigo's are magnificent animals. Its's about time that we help support the local wildlife and learn from them accordingly.
Are they not poisonous?
@@segunfamaye5377 Negative. Although they are illegal to own in Florida, they make great pets if you're into pet snakes as they are a very laid back snake, unless you're another snake. Then they are deadly. th-cam.com/video/F7W1ltPPpjw/w-d-xo.html
You mean venomous
"How do you like that python.. see what it's like" says the bunny
pythons don't eat snakes.
Indigo : its good and delicious too , now i'll rest for next 30 days ...bye bye
I love all snakes but as a Floridian very concerned about the Burmese problem in the everglades its good to see a native snake helping with that and growing stronger. Indigos are the nonvenomous King Cobras of the US...it should not be the invasives filling that role
Drymarchon melanurus( indigo snake ) also exists in central and south america, but here the snake turns in a brown color!
Well people get the pythons when they are small. As they grow a lot of people don't want to deal with them anymore so they turned them loose. Hence you have a python population out of control.☮️
Cottonmouths also eat pythons.
Sadly though, Indigo Snakes only serve as a very small deterrent. Burmese Pythons have a fast growth rate when young and can be expected to be around 4 1/2 to 6 feet at the end of their first year. After 2 years, no Indigo Snake threatens a Burmese Python, though some do succeed, it's rare.

OMG! That Indigo snake ate him up in a minutes time. He must have been hungry like hell.
And did not say thank you.
Bro
Always the most fascinating videos...thank you!
Thank you for saying so.
ojatro What I find most interesting here in this video, is that the King Snake rejects the Burmese Python as food; yet the Indigo readily eats them....
Pickinbuddy Kings do prey on smaller Burms. Snakes make up a good part of their diet.
Pickinbuddy
Pythons are powerful constrictors as shown here. Even hatchlings can be a handful as shown. An indigo snake has a powerful jaw but without constriction abilities is no match for a larger python. But even small pythons can be too much for a king snake but I'm sure larger kings would eat them.

Finally a video true to its title

Damn, that was a fast take down!!!
Dude!!! I want the autograph of that snake... 👏👏👏
“Snake cannibalism” is a stupid title since these 2 snakes are more distant from each other than humans are from monkeys
...and humans eat monkeys! lol
No your wrong the indigo lives in fla , and people have brought the python into fla, so they could actually meet each other both are constrictors but the indigo is native to fla,,
No, human and apes are more distant then those 2 snakes..we DO NOT heritate from apes
The two most notable snake eaters are Blue (Texas) indigos (non venomous), and the King Cobras (highly venomous) i wonder how a fight between two smakes that have evolved to kill snakes would turn out....what does everyone else think? Mind you Blue Indigos are generally larger but cobras have the nasty venom so...idk
wow the colors on that indigo... so gorgeous!
3 am i was watching some highlight clips of csgo and don’t even know how i ended up here 🤣🤣🤣
0:20 Indigos are not immune to rattlesnake venom, they just have a very high tolerance to it. The indigo may start to exhibit symptoms, but will quickly rebound.

Because they're fkn gangsta, mofo!!
I think we got the point at first mr. Technical no body cares with that slight of a difference know it all.

Great information and great assessment
Thought the python looked bigger until the first shot of them together!
The indigo snake simply overpowers his victims, and eats them alive.
the title have been "a full size indigo snake eats a baby python"
What a stupid thing to cry about.
why should it?
Yes, I guess if the python was a adult or teenager, the indigo snake wouldn't even deal with Python or she could get trouble.
@@wandersonvitor3054 "teenager" LMFAO
The whole point is a bigger python would have wrecked that indigo 🐍. Some people want to see a legit battle between two fully grown snakes. Not a baby snake....
We need more Indigo snakes in the Everglades, Pythons just overrunning the place eating everything ..
my grandpa used to tell us to leave the indigo snakes alone because they would keep other venomous snakes away and eat them
The knowledge, that snake had, stalking stopping when the other snake had stopped, moving only when the smaller snake moved, was crazy.
Most of that is instinct not knowledge. Snakes that have never eaten live prey do the same things.
indigo's are the best!! I love my indigos :)
This is the scariest snake I've ever seen. Those eyes!
I don't think it's considered cannibalism if they are two different species.
Stolen comment
thats amazing wildlife video, the 1st time i ever saw a snake swallow another
You should visit your house of senates.
Anti Idiot I don’t understand it??? Why would that snake eat his own kind? Why doesn’t he HELP that poor snake instead of eating him???

Python is fresh from the hatch
I think i have had already seen this video about 5 years ago. Now youtube again recommended and now again I am watching..
All of you are doing a Amazing work to keep us Entertained and please keep the videos coming
Good for the Indigo! Love how they just overpower their prey! Great to see the Indigo taking care of business on the invasive species of python.
this is a really good video, and well narrated thanks
Bill M Thank you.
ojatro ran too
+ojatro Does an indigo snake have any natural enemies, like other snakes that can overpower it?
+Bill M Thank you.
+ligamentpull1 Naturally, the indigo snake has just as many predators to look out for as many other snakes, in particular birds of prey...
This isn't cannibalism anymore than us eating a monkey. Totally different species.
Floridians should treasure indigo snakes. They're an invaluable asset in the quest to eradicate invasive Burmese Pythons. Instead of over collecting for the pet trade they should be breeding from captive populations of indigos not only to supply the pet trade but also to release in the wild during python breeding season to hunt baby pythons. They're native to that area so there's no issue with releasing them there as it would boost the existing natural population.
But theres is king Cobra kills all snakes
@@robertmax1316 that’s true that king cobras love to hunt snakes but they’re not native to USA. Much lower risks introducing the native equivalent of the king cobra. Native snakes species in USA are used to indigo snakes but have never dealt with king cobras. King cobras could potentially find native species easier to hunt than juvenile pythons. History has taught that the key to successfully utilizing non native species to control another introduced species is to extensively test before introduction.
That was something Australian farmers failed to do when they thought of introducing marine roads into cane fields to control the population of cane beetles. That turned out to be a humongous fail when it was learned that the introduced toads were terrible at hunting cane beetles because their inability to climb meant those beetles had a very easy time avoiding them but the toads thrived eating everything else and their poisonous glands meant they killed everything that tried to eat them and since then they’ve spread from a few cane fields in Queensland a several decades ago to now they’re not far from spreading all across the tropical north. Contrast that with a particular moth species that was found to be a great enemy of the prickly pear cactus which was another problematic invasive species in Australia. With that moth extensive testing occurred to ensure it was not likely to target native species or important cash crops. And that testing proved reliable as the introduction of that moth species was hugely successful at decimating the prickly pear growth while not causing problems for any other native or economically important species. Thus making that introduction a spectacular success and a perfect contrast to the introduction of cane (marine) toads
@@unstoppableExodia yeah that's one heck of a venomous monster, even more dangerous is the green anaconda which doesn't need venom to kill you it just swallows you whole. What the did with the introduction of the Burmese python as a pet was pure negligence. Forget not realising it into the wild they never should've had it as a pet since it cannot be domesticated. A lot of people want foreign wild animals as pets and that ain't right. Burmese python king, cobra, or any other exotic non native species of snake it doesn't matter. I wouldn't want any type of snake that could bite and kill only, or strangle and swallow whole brought from a foreign country anywhere near my children or family, but unfortunately we have to deal with mess we created. A mess Burmese python. The only predator that could help eliminate this snake is not near as big. I'm talking about a humans. We have firearms that no animal species has a form of defence or weapons. All it takes is 1 shot to any part of yhe body and that thing is history if we kill more than 1 million. We can't just kill 100 we have to kill them all.
@@eddypuentes6155 yeah humans have firearms and other such hunting weapons but pythons are really good at hiding themselves and lay a lot of eggs meaning that humans hunting them has little effect on their population growth.
Aside from indigo-snakes another native predator that could hunt them could be Jaguars. They have evolved to hunt a much higher percentage of reptiles in their diet than other big cats, they are very comfortable with wetland habitat, even hunting in the water at times. They’re known to hunt ferocious reptilian predators like anaconda and caimans (not necessarily completely full grown ones) by delivering a powerful bite to the skull.
Of course it is worth mentioning that Jaguars are generalist hunters meaning if reintroduced to the Everglades they likely will hunt species that are threatened if they come across them as well as livestock ,potentially, if they should happen to wander near farmland. But with Burmese pythons being very numerous there now Jaguars would encounter them more than the mammals and other shared prey that pythons are currently decimating.
You should check the#CubanBrownAnole. It was brought as a pet from Cuba and you can practically find it in Georgia Texas California Hawaii and Florida which at one time you could not find them. Just like the Burmese python in Florida and Georgia, Those lizards too were introduced to those parts of the world.

This is by far one of the most beautiful snakes we have in the state of Georgia..... It really saddens me that it is endangered in the way that it is... I wish there was a way we could start a program refuge to increase the indigo's population as it is such an important part of Georgia's ecosystem and history.
You probably don't have a clue of how many levels of both intelligence and love for nature the normal American has to make to get near your level.
Mr. Haron I've a question to ask:
How people re raising snakes in their homes?
Don't they afraid of its venom?
@@user-rm8qi5mi1g because not all snakes are venomous. And most of the ones in a true pet situation are emphatically harmless.
Your should propose a breeding program. Your should design a program and petition Georgia to do it or allow you to and you may have too file a federal law suit. You can study the program of the Alabama indigo breeding and release program. Florida maybe can loan some breeding stock. The offspring can be released in protected habitat and land. Furthermore you should contact florida to breed more too eat the pythons.
@@user-rm8qi5mi1g both of these snakes are not venomous.

Wrong
@@Medabee8 you are right my friend
@@Medabee8 no, you’re wrong. Cannibalism is only cannibalism is the 2 animals are of the same species. Indigos and Burmese pythons are not closely related. The OP is right, bears and sea lions are about as closely related to one another as pythons and indigo snakes. Learn something about taxonomy.
