King Snake vs Copperhead

[greg19670]

King Snakes are bad ass.

[YTFKING]

"And thats the head of the loser snake" xDDD

[kyletango]

Years ago on my way to my deer stand to bow hunt, I came upon a king snake that had a copperhead wrapped up like that. At first I thought I was looking at somethings intestines on the leaves because the underside of the copperhead was sorta pink. Took a different route back to vehicle after dark.LOL

[joshthesnake123]

Thats a brooks king snake not a king cobra all king snakes eat snakes

[MRODorange1320]

king cobras are one of the most vemimees snakes in the world

[blacknight8081]

The copperhead is like putting it's spit all over the King snake

[xMarokProductions]

i hope you got you and your dog away, kingsnakes are my favorite snakes, but they can be very dangerous, they are probably one of the toughest/ harshest snakes. There tough and SWEET!

[xxBabyxGirlxxx]

por snake

[polo6957]

The green one is the kingsnake not sure what country but the one being killed is the copperhead

[R4MMV8SRT10]

any one know that snake thats green on the top, and what appears like i suppose goldish underneath? i was told that was a copperhead, but doesnt seem like it. after watching this.

[DarkFilmDirector]

Live in an area with a lot of pests or other snakes? Release a few kingsnapes on your property and no more pest problem.

Kingsnake win

[LaksaMedan]

@DarkFilmDirector

King snake from other part of country donot necessarily immune to the venon of local snake. King snake captured from your own region would bethe best.

[6CubersUnited]

i guess you can say that the copperhead's life *puts on sunglasses* is a wrap

[racedrum11]

w8 its not a rat snake either...its a Eastern hognose snake

[racedrum11]

that is NOT a copper head. look at the pattern. it dots. thats abously a rat snake.copper heads have like sideways horrer glasses.

[Trakehner20]

If one has a snake problem on their own land, can you buy a couple King snakes and turn them loose, to feed on the bad ones?

[Trakehner20]

What would we do without King snakes! I'd hate to see the rattler population without them.

[mecamie7]

i love kingsnakes they are my favorite. they are awesome

[ColubridCreationsTV]

@omglol4k They also eat rodents, lizards, chicks, etc.

[VrkasTheSkulltaker]

yeah you might wanna remember to thank the local kingsnake for killing off the venomous snakes that want to kill your little Lilly

[texasboy2005]

@VrkasTheSkulltaker Amen brotha!



[Reddogruss]

That king snake probably saved that little yapper's life

[indigoinut]

kingsnakes eat other snakes. it was just getting dinner

[JOSEPHICATIONABLE]

I would laugh SOOO HARD if the snake slithered over to the fence, wrapped ur dog up, & started swallowing it!! =D

[surfrat43]

floriduh kingsnake

[47lilwill]

Kingsnake FTW!

[reptile202]

The kingsnake is all like: "Copper? Biotch, I got lead instead"

[Zlarel]

The copperhead's like "bleh"

[Jaidenize]

at first i thought you tied the king snake in a bunch of knots lol

[freepeoplenow]

Is that a Florida King?

[WillsUrDad]

they are clearly having sex in this video, hes a winner snake

[Sn00py702]

that snake prob saved that dogs life

[soluSs0ul]

THE KING

[Napalmburstable]

i had a small snake on my lawn last week.. i shot in the head with a 22 Cal. Fucking disgusting creatures

[360andmerule]

@Napalmburstable i shot this hooker in the head with a 22 cal.

[ThatAnimalGuy]

@Napalmburstable In the future, before you do something like that, do something rare and think.What did that snake do to you? Even if was venemous, no snake will harm a human IF GIVEN SPACE. If you go around and try to piss off rattlers you are going to get bit, but leave them alone and you will be fine. If you research it and determine it is venemous, contact animal control. Unless of course you are a future serial killer that enjoys killing innocent things for no reason. Then you are messed up

[Felixg1979]

@ThatAnimalGuy Agreed,people just don't get how beneficial snakes are. I wouldn't mind having many in my backyard,they keep rodents,and many other pests away. If we whiped out most of the snake population,rat infestations,and disease.

[bullsnake70]

@Napalmburstable Waste of fucking bullets, pal. SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME, WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE THINK SNAKES ARE GROSS??? WHAT IS SO GROSS ABOUT THEM??? I can't think of anything gross about snakes! Snakes are awesome!

[MultiJd88]

@Napalmburstable fuck you what has that snake ever done to you? if you stayed away from it and left it alone, it would have left cunt

[danac352]

king snake will win almost everytime!!! we have one and i love her. she can eat and eat!

[M3TurboE46]

I hate little dogs should have feed it to the snake

[MOVEZIG]

@M3TurboE46 watch?v=gvdf5n-zI14

:]

[JohnnyJohn118]

@M3TurboE46 thats fucked up. my dog is small, but not like the one in the video its 25 pounds.

[bibleisfake]

King snakes are the motherfucking shit.

[Sethlaham89]

That's exactly what my kingsnake looks like. Scarily identical.

[14Guitars]

This was taken in Summerville, SC, by one of my best friends (the guy who posted this video).

[Delticola]

@14Guitars Well Summerville, SC certainly has some beautiful king snakes!

[icup728]

that looks like a rare type of king. where was that taken?

[princeton463]

yea. thats the head... of the loser snake. LOL?

[commonking70]

That's a Eastern King from South Carolina. Its been discussed here already. SC has a population of Kings that are heavily speckled.

[crawler151]

@commonking70 its a speckled king

[mikal9411]

dog: bark bark bark

king: come over here for a second dog ill show you something to bark about

[Worship777]

let them try against a King Cobra. they wont be able to take on them

[z28931]

Get that rubber snake out from under the kingsnake.

[danac352]

we have a king snake and they eat like crazy. this is the reason i like them!!!!

[dancemonster92]

king snakes a re immune to rattle snake venom and they eat them yaaa

[Mazzmarach]

Now, that's what I call a "wrap".

[AJN1968]

Florida King and a Southern copperhead.

[birdwing98]

The viper's pits are clearly visible at 0:24.

[cottodabodykill]

king snakes ..the snakes answer to rocky balboa

[MrDeskman22]

uhhhh the loser wasnt a copperhead idk what it was but i can reconignize a copperhead when i see one and that wasnt a copperhead.

[bullsnake70]

@MrDeskman22 No, I assure you it is, the belly pattern is certainly that of a copperhead's.

[MrDeskman22]

@bullsnake70 Well where I live there is no copperheads with that pattern so I might be wrong.

[Popplerocks]

I love chihuahua's! My chi is afraid of my snakes ;p

[H0lyMessiah]

DeadSnake:....

Alivesnake: Shut this fucking dog up or hes next.

[TripAAAHerping]

thats a Southern Copperhead (Agkistridon Contortrix Contortrix) getting eatin by a Florida Kingsnake (Lampropeltis Getula Floridana)

[TheXiantruth]

yeah, that's a copperhead: if nothing else you can look at his head and determine it's a copperhead.

[drenajunkie]

Not to be an ass but copperheads don't have spots, they have darker colored bands that typically get wider on the side of their body. Not sure what it is though...

[xxxHERPERxxx]

@drenajunkie That's definately a copperhead, that's just the ventral side

[spankham73]

@drenajunkie i gotta agree. copperheads have hourglass or bowtie type bands, not spots. plus the eyes appear round and not catlike

[drenajunkie]

@spankham73 Yeah I noticed the eyes too.

[seattleman1969]

@spankham73 A copperheads bands do not go across his belly scutes (Belly scales) and are broken into spots, that is what you are seeing and the kingsnake had already swallowed the copperhead's head so you are seeing the kingsnake's eyes.

[moingude]

Why did you Film this? I would kill them both and make some new shoes!

[Hardcorecolubrids]

@moingude here a prime example of a educated person who thinks all snakes are bad its people who are bad snake were here first.

[DarkAngelusV]

That king snake looks a lot like my Texas (Desert) king snake.

[stoneroses13]

the dog at the beginning added spice to this video! nice vid!

[NIGHTCRAWLER504]

the copperheads tongue is popped out!!! :o.....lol

[josyme123]

iff mine grows that big ill haft to sell it is it yours ? how old is it?

[MrSyntheticDesign]

King snakes are constrictors, they will often run around the viper and dart in and out to try to get it to bite itself, chances are its not immune to its own venom but king snake species have been shown to be resistant to a vipers venom so vipers are so completely screwed

[lebiew]

The king snake. Kings are faster than all vipers. I got bit by a king when I was a dumb kid and wow that was painful. For weeks it was hurting

[724hp]

@lebiew you know nothing...

[brycetennison420]

@licmy3balls at least i know im right i grew up wit snakes.....stop talkn shit on youtube faggot u have no life hahaha

[licmy3balls]

@brycetennison420 Oh where do I begin..for starters no snake is poisonous, dumbfuck, poison is ingested not injected. Snakes are venomous. The next gaping hole in your logic is that a room full of rattle snakes wouldnt be the least bit aware of you holding a king snake and to insinuate such a thing is absurd. Please contiue to dazle me with your nonsenical insults and facts on reptiles, its very entertaining.

[Ultimategrid]

There is no "vs" here the KING is feeding

[MultiJd88]

@Ultimategrid haha so true

[brycetennison420]

thats the cool thing bout the king snakes.....poisonous snakes get owned by them.....u could litterally walk around in a room full of rattlers wit a kingsnake n they wont fuck wit u

[moshe72]

@brycetennison420 literally?

[licmy3balls]

@brycetennison420 *****CONGRADULATIONS!!!!!*****­* You have no doubt posted the stupidest comment in youtube history. You should be proud.

[freedomisthewageofsi]

@brycetennison420 Sorry but that is utter shit! XD I'm fairly certain that the room full of Rattlers wouldn't hesitate to strike you whilst the King is busy with ONE of them. Fool.

[thepurevandal]

i love king snakes

[jeimikaze]

umm..sorry guys..king snakes are not venomous. they prefer to eat other snakes that ARE VENOMOUS, but they are not themselves venomous. i have a lavender california king, and i have been biten by her a few times, and nothing has ever happened. not its not because "i'm immune" its because they do not carry poison. do your research before speaking about something you know nothing of!

[suprahero]

It's a speckled king snake. California banded ks are black and white.

[ihavevideos45]

i love kingsnakes amune to all venom!!!!!

[treehugger642]

cool that king is cool

[mrantis]

that snake may have saved you a hospital visit

[ghastly52]

It's a eastern kingsnake. Probably from either Georgia or south Carolina . I've seen very few that speckle like that but they are out there.

P.s. That is a copperhead.

[scampy1985]

is the king ur snake ???? looks nice

[TheFiveLeggedFrog]

are kings immune to copperhead venom as well as rattlers, that amazing

[MrSyntheticDesign]

@TheFiveLeggedFrog it hasnt been proven they are completely immune but highly resistant to it, in a snake to snake battle a king will mojority out manover the viper or cobra speices very easily, the trick is the king will have to dart around it to get it to bite itself thats the whole purpose for a king to make the fatal blow, its alot like judo, let your opponet do all the work

[zombierapists]

its a brooks kingsnake found in florida most of the time

[Estreet321]

Lily better be glad that king snake was there to kill that copperhead. My dog just died yesterday from a rattler unfortunately.

[seriouskitten]

that is a really rare morph of king snake

[SpringfieldGarand]

@seriouskitten Nothing rare about it. It's a common Eastern King Snake.

[yatwice]

that a losersnake?

[damyo8D]

i got a ball python it is awesome when it eats mice

[InuYasha1036]

That's definitely not a copperhead. The scale pattern isn't right at all. But King snakes are pretty beast anyway

[azmab]

@InuYasha1036 Sorry chief. That IS a copperhead.

[melendezman68]

man i would stopped video taping and catch that kingsnake and keep it they are really good pets its a Florida Brooks kingsnake

[TimmyGal]

Beware of the King!!!

[SallyMetJake]

Sorry folks. But that's not a copperhead he killed.

[LoneHerper]

@SallyMetJake It is actually. You can see that is is a pit viper. The only other thing it could be is a pygmy rattlesnake, which it isn't, head scales aren't keeled enough.. As far as pattern all you can see is the ventral pattern, which is that of a copperhead. I am sure the person who filmed this got a better look at it than us.

[LoneHerper]

Actually I take back that you can only see the ventral pattern. At about 0:35 you can see that it is indeed a copperhead.

[ChopstickTech]

@SallyMetJake I think it looks like a Corn snake myself.

[freedomisthewageofsi]

@ChopstickTech Looks nothing like a Corn mate -.-

[2010UWG]

thats cool i wish i could find that snake!!!

[DPKArizona]

california king snake will not hurt small dog not worry. Copperhead have venuos

[theflyfishkid]

first of, y u cursing so much? second, I'm not afrai of getting bitten I'm afraid of seeing an 8 year old get bitten, from experience.

[licmy3balls]

@theflyfishkid cry me a river. a freak thing is no excuse to be an idiot and have no respect for animals that have been here millions of years longer than humans. more people hit the lottery than are bitten by snakes every year, especially in the US. the stupid ass little mother fucker was probably fucking with the snake truth be told, and thats how he got bit.

[licmy3balls]

thats not a copperhead.

[theflyfishkid]

thats why i tell people not to kill the non-poisonos ones. they kill the poisionoss ones.

[licmy3balls]

@theflyfishkid youre a fucking idiot...theres no reason to kill any snake. and by the way snakes are venomous, not poisonous, fucking retard.

[theflyfishkid]

@licmy3balls thanks peta, should i boycott kfc to? i heard they kill chickens...

[licmy3balls]

@theflyfishkid eat what ever you want, theres nothing wrong with that. but to kill something because of ignorance, or in your case because youre a little fucking pussy and youre scared, is stupid.

[u45uify]

well its not called "king snake" fer nuthin

[OneWithDragons]

Is that your King Snake? Or just two random snakes that wandered into your yard?

Either way, bad ass King Snake.

[Ozzmaster75]

That's a Speckled King Snake.

[rocketman63]

That's one tough king snake. Copperheads are MEAN when forced to fight.

[88Tdwp]

Seriously wft. Fucking bullshit lies. Ok how can you get the world's largest venomous snake mixed up with a fucking kingsnake. And no a fucking American kingsnake would not be immune to a King cobra's venom, do you know why?? It would be because King snakes are native to North America and King cobras are native to Southeast Asia so therefore the kingsnake would not have any tolerance to a king cobra because it would never encounter a king cobra in the wild. So go tell your bullshit to some kid..

[licmy3balls]

@88Tdwp im not sure about all king snakes, but king cobras arent immune to thier own venom. so if a cobra bit another cobra, it would die. also, king cobra's diet is 90% other snakes, so not sure who would win that duel, that is if they didnt live on different contenants. youre right though, there is SOOO much bullshit about snakes out there, people are so fucking stupid.

[DevinLPilk]

ok when i was in third grade i owned one of these king snake and my mom bought a female king cobra accedentally and the king snake won because of its immunity

[opiatkiinq]

lol nice lie, king snake is not immune to cobra venom, the cobra will hit it one time and the king snake will slowly die ;P not every ones stupid, or just unknowing. actually search for king cobra vs king snake, and you will see ;) king cobras have been illegal for awhile now in the US, as well as if any one could get the price mixed up for king cobra and king snake is crazy, bLahh bLahh youtube b.s

[Paulmichael9]

@DevinLPilk King snakes aren't Immune to King cobra's venom only Rattlers

[scottiethebody79]

Why don't you young punks actually do some research instead of seeing and believing everything you see on the net? I've been a herp breeder for 20 years. This is a "Kansas Phase" Speckled Kingsnake. Yes, it is a Colubrid. Yes, it also constricts. Yes, it's also immune to rattlesnake venom. No, Cobras, King or other, are not illegal in the U.S.. One must simply check with state / county / city laws and/or obtain proper permits for dangerous / venomous animals.

[RKEreal1]

do king snakes have venom too? or did it just beast the copperhead just because?

[leopardgecko222]

no they are just immune to the venom

[afnedlrleewr]

@RKEreal1

no king snakes are strictly constrictors

[Guitarstar00]

@RKEreal1 they are immune to venom and they r constrictors

[rcw0388]

no kingsnakes are nonvenomous, they're just that badass.

[randygalati]

@rcw0388 then your saying kingsnakes are venomous lol

[Aquariousi]

@rcw0388

Not only that, but they are immune to venom too.

[jordan628trisha]

@rcw0388 It helps that the venom doesnt harm them lol, any kingsnake I find alongside the road i pick em up and let them loose around my house I always keep a good stock of them around

[boamaster200]

shaddap Lily xD

[devanesmagic]

yes a speckled king 4 sure... great vid too

[afnedlrleewr]

@devanesmagic

or a florida or a brooks

in some areas they cross breed

[alientsf]

Whoa ! Kingsnakes are badass !

[Timmeh705]

rather run into a king snake then a copper head, lol

[crazykorean2268]

thats y they r called king snake! they r the top lol

[khaostim666]

king snake wins again :)

[iEdable]

your dogs abit small to have near that snake :P

[g4q9n2]

That's the neighbor's dog

[pigliksbaconforbreki]

@g4q9n2 haahahahaha

[Ken9284]

@g4q9n2 Feed that dog to the snake. Little dogs suck.

[MrLuvaluva67]

@g4q9n2 LMAO...ah so what its only the neighbours lolololol

[purplecrack93]

@g4q9n2 wait so what snake won? because its coiled up.. what snake is coiled?

[jasonmayhammillerfan]

@g4q9n2 lol let them fight see who wins lol.. they snake will get rid of the rodent pet lol

[50CaliberKiwi258]

@iEdableHaha

[AlmiccAmore]

cutee doggyy!

[TJsHerps]

Perfect example of why they are called King snakes! Great video!

[dini16016]

my puppy just got bit by one yesterday. 800 vet bill... this just made my day.

[namrahnotyal]

@dini16016 that sucks, but in the end its worth every penny to save your puppy

[angelsgurl]

@dini16016 should have let it die

[darkwolve16]

@dini16016 same here my dogs got bit yesturday and that joyous bill she better live lol shes a fighter (and a killer) tore the coppers neck right in half hows yours doing

[dini16016]

@darkwolve16 she was 4 months old when it happened.... shes got a scar on her leg where hair wont grow but thats it. she stopped whining after the second day... and it was fully healed over after 2 or 3 weeks. it was the biggest copperhead i have ever seen at over 3 feet and about as big around as a silver dollar coin too. it must have released alot of venom cause ive seen other bites from copperheads that werent near this bad. just be glad it wasnt a rattlesnake or cottonmouth that got yours.

[darkwolve16]

@dini16016 me to my dogs doing better took'er to vet to make sure shes doing ok she was having fun with my neighbors french mastiff a little bit ago i think she will be ok, im glad yours is good silver dollar big sounds big for a copper this one was an adult i believe about a good 2-4 feet long

[miasmablk]

hahaha "loser snake"

[mrpoop608]

king snakes kill like everything lol they so strong!

[gittarfin]

Beautiful king! It looks just like the florida kings but it seems to be lacking in yellow coloraion.

[shoeydidit]

the florida kings are dark.....brooks kings are the light colored florida kings

[gittarfin]

This has to be a form of Eastern king since the guy who took the video says it was in South Carolina.

[drumcon11]

speckled kingsnake...?

[ColubridKing]

Yeah, I think it's a speckled kingsnake.
