The woman who recorded the video said "the brown snake had the whole head of the red-bellied black snake in its mouth and was squeezing and pulsing".

"Look how many times the brown is wrapped around it," the woman said in the video.

"One, two, three - I reckon it's wrapped around like six times.

"Oh, mate."

It is not clear which snake ended up winning the fight.
