Video shared by Snake Catchers Adelaide captures the events that took place after the two duelers carried on with their brawl, beginning with a handler removing the deceased snake from Kit’s collar.
It was later determined by officials that although Kit won the battle, he didn’t do so unscathed: he had to be taken to a nearby vet to receive antivenom after catchers noticed that he’d been bitten.
It’s presently unclear how the snake wound up getting stuck on Kit’s collar.
