A captivating battle between two venomous snakes has ended in a gruesome fate for the loser in regional Victoria.

Video shared by Liz Williams shows the fearsome predators fighting it out in the backyard of a Nanneella home, near Rochester, on Friday night.

The brown then uses its fangs to clamp down on its victim’s head, before slowly starting to eat it.

Ms Williams described the fight as “amazing” in an interview with The Riverine Herald .

“My niece posted some video of the event and I learnt there was a real contrast in people’s reactions – from fascination to fear,” she told the newspaper.

A snake catcher who was called to the scene later said the brown snake “regurgitated” some of its meal, the Riverine reported.
