I have not been able to find much info on this subject but I read the Mark O'shea book BOAS AND PYTHONS OF THE WORLD
In the book he mentions the scrub python having a potential predator, and that predator was said to be the Olive Python. I don't think I have seen much other info on the subject of olive pythons regularly eating other snakes, but maybe you guys know since you are closer to them than us staties. He also mentioned the same behavior was exhibited by the Papuan Olive though I know it is a different species.
Is there any truth that olives will take on scrubs for a meal? Just how big a role do other snakes play in the diet of olive pythons if any?
Thanks for any info.
