This is the remarkable moment two snakes roll around in a double headlock during a violent battle caught on camera.

The two rinkhals, also known as ring-necked spitting cobras, writhe around with their jaws tightly locked down on each other in a ferocious fight.

The pair can be seen spinning round and round before reaching a stalemate - at which point Dave Du Toit, who was filming the incredible fight, had to separate them.

The 54-year-old animal lover was in the Limpopo province of South Africa with colleagues when he filmed the extraordinary clash

But "dead" is a four letter word around these parts!

all quiet at my place for days. I think this dry heat has put them back into hibernation or something.

Cobras are cannibals, so it looks like they were trying to eat each other!

Good snake or bad snake? My snake ID (and heart rate) are off since it was so close to our dogs, so I didn't stop to think, I just grabbed the spade shovel..... Compunding this is the fact so many copperheads have been found on our street lately

Rat snake. The dogs are more of a threat to you than that snake.

What I thought. It got out of our yard so quick, and with all the copperheads that have been found the last few weeks, I didn't try and ID first.

I learned the easiest and safest way to identify if a snake is venomous or not is their neck. If they have a skinny neck then they are venomous. If their head goes straight into their body they aren't.

In my defense, from my first fleeting glance, at about 10ft, the head shape looked like a copperheads. Looked very triangular. It was also pretty thick(like I know copperheads can be), and I know their coloring can get a little muddled and not be so "coppery".

I guess I understand what you're saying, but that looks nothing like a copperhead.

If anything, take a step back to gather yourself and then try to ID it. There's no rule that it must be killed within 10 seconds of seeing it.

Copperheads uniformly look like copperheads they have differences in darkness of coloration and general banding pattern, but even different subspecies all look relatively similar.

Northern Copperhead:


Southern Copperhead:


Trans Pecos Copperhead:


Broad Banded Copperheads:


Osage Copperhead:

Oh crap!!!! I finally have one to post and don't have a photobucket account. Going to get a friend post. Found about 30 minutes ago on our walk in Bryan. I'm thinking rat snake but the colors are not the pretty brown and gold. It is a muted grey. About 2 feet long.

Father in Law sent this to me over the weekend. Found outside of their garden in Spicewood, TX. Hognose was relocated. Has also found 3 Western Diamondbacks in the last couple of weeks but unfortunately didn't get pictures of those.

Thank you very much. What did I do wrong?

My wife didn't like the fact I wanted to stop and take pictures during our walk. I'm going to convince her that all
Snakes are good and don't need to be killed.

I was impressed with how pretty it is. I've only seen the gold and brown ones.

I guess they were worn out? No way in hell am I trying to separate two cobras.

I'm not proud of it but I hate snakes and I wouldn't be up to separating grass snakes. But I wouldn't kill them anymore thanks to this board. I'd just leave with what's left of my dignity.
