A small snake has been caught on film devouring another of its own kind at a house in a northern suburb of Toowoomba, west of Brisbane, Australia.

Dave Wiedman from Toowoomba Snake Catchers 24/7 was called out by the residents at about 1am on Monday when they noticed a small-eyed snake in their garage, as Daily Mail reports.

‘Once I saw it I noticed something strange. It was a small-eyed snake eating what looked like another small-eyed snake,’ Mr Wiedman said in a video.

A small portion of the other snake’s tail could be seen wriggling from its attacker’s mouth before it was swallowed whole.

Mr Wiedman said it is not uncommon for small-eyed snakes to attack other snakes, including its own kind.
