In another strange encounter from the world of creep-crawlies, a 4-foot snake ate two smaller snakes and then barfed them out. Surprisingly, one of the snakes that was eaten up, came alive.&nbsp;

Georgia Department of Natural Resources has released photos that show a 4-foot-long eastern indigo snake that had gobbled up two other snakes – a young rat snake and a juvenile eastern diamond-backed rattlesnake.

Wildlife technician Matt Moore caught hold of the indigo snake in southeast Georgia. He told Fox News that after he tagged the snake, he found that it had vomited out the rat snake and rattlesnake.

What shocked the researchers was that the rattlesnake who was presumed dead, started writhing and moving about an hour after being thrown up by the indigo snake.&nbsp;

The surprises didn't stop there as the rattlesnake had a bulge on its stomach, the Department of Natural Resources said. It had supposedly feasted on a large mouse before itself becoming the bigger snake's meal.

The rattlesnake is perfectly fine now. However, the rat snake had died.&nbsp;

“This unusual episode not only reveals the indigo’s impressive hunting abilities but also the rattlesnake’s unexpected resilience,” the DNR said.

Snakes have apparently been feasting on each other in nature. A few years back a Burmese python attacked and swallowed a reticulated python. This was the first time scientists witnessed such an incident.

The unusual encounter happened in Bangladesh and was reported in a research note published on August 20 in the journal Reptiles and Amphibians.

The Burmese python ate the reticulated python alive from the tail up. It took about two hours to completely devour the other python.

Scientists reached the site upon learning about the presence of two pythons. They were shocked to see the 10-foot-long (3-metre) Burmese python coiled around the reticulated python's tail.

Burmese pythons are normally a few feet smaller than the reticulated python. The former can grow up to 19 feet, while reticulated pythons can reach up to 25 feet.&nbsp;

Four-foot snake throws up 2 other vermins, one comes alive an hour later

In what could be the first known case, a Burmese python was seen attacking and swallowing a reticulated python. Scientists say two of the world's biggest snakes preying on one another has never been reported before. The unusual encounter happened in Bangladesh and saw the Burmese python eat a much bigger reticulated python.

The incident was reported in a research note published on August 20 in the journal Reptiles and Amphibians.

"To the best of our knowledge, this observation represents the first documented predation of M. reticulatus by P. bivittatus," the authors wrote in the paper.

The rare event happened in 2020, and images show a Burmese python (Python bivittatus) feasting on the reticulated python (Malayopython reticulatus). The former ate the latter alive from the tail up. The snake took about two hours to completely devour the other python.

Study co-author Ashikur Rahman Shome, a wildlife ecologist at Dhaka University in Bangladesh, told Live Science, that it is not common to find the two pythons in the same place. "It was a really unusual situation to find two pythons in the same area," he said.

The latter did not give up without a fight. It constricted the Burmese python to save its life but ultimately gave up. The Burmese python feasted on it for two hours.

Burmese pythons are normally a few feet smaller than the reticulated python. The former can grow up to 19 feet, while reticulated pythons can reach up to 25 feet. Shome said that in this case also, the latter was larger but the exact length could not be ascertained.&nbsp;

The tussle between the two pythons happened at the Akiz Wildlife Farm in Bangladesh's Chittagong Division. The ranges of the two pythons overlap in this region.&nbsp;

They are normally known to feed on small mammals, lizards and birds. However, why they chose to enter a fight in which one ate the other up is not clear. Study authors believe that it was likely a fight for territory and this was probably one of the best options available to reign supreme.
