How is the frog not dead from venom ?
Not all snakes are venomous
Yeah but i thought the one who only swallows or suffocates it's pray was not venomous and everithing that bites will atleast be slightly venomous.
Well yes, but no.
Every snake swallows it's food whole and every snake (except teethless eggsnakes or wormsnakes or sum such freaky things) bite.
Constrictors (no venom, suffocating the prey) do bite and then wrap around the prey, that the snake tries to hold onto the frog seems to indicate it being a constricting species.
Venomous species bite and then often let go, as usually the venom is enough to kill or stun small prey and using your mouth to hold onto something that has the ability to fight back is usually a bad idea if you can just let the venom do it's thing. Though many venomous snakes with less potent poison will also constrict their prey.
Most snakes, big and small are constrictors. Everything bigger than a king cobra is a constrictor, but most small species (like rat snakes, milk snakes, corn snakes and king snakes) are also constrictors.
What kind of snake is in the video if i may ask.
I have absolutely no idea, there are around 4000 species of snake and this one doesn't have especially distinct coloration.
The narrow shape of the head and the long, slender body tells me it's not a species of viper, it certainly is no python (except maybe a young black water python), or boa. It's active, fast and slender, so personally I think it's either a colubrid (most likely, colubridae make up about 60% of all snakes worldwide) or an elapid (less likely, but possible)... Am I the only one thinking that the body looks very triangular? Could be a black krait, but they only live in northern India and are most active during the night.
It's most likely just some sort of black rat snake (Pantherophis obsoletus) or black racer (Coluber constrictor sp.), which are both black american colubrids with a white belly and both constrict their prey. Both are active during the day, great climbers and hunt frogs. So I guess that's my best guess.
But like I said, I don't have the slightest idea.
