Thanks for the additional suggestion Vianney. Apologies for not replying sooner

You mean identify the victim? I'm not sure. Because the head is already gone. From its skin pattern and color, it could be juvenile phyton, or adult red-sided keelback snake (Xenochrophis Sp.), or cat snake (Boiga Sp.), For the big one, I almost sure that it is a king Cobra who is popular as snake-eater.
