Snake sightings are Watch Believer Onlinealways pretty creepy, but they don't get more terrifying than this.

Australian man Steve Young was out on his property last Sunday when he happened to spot a 1.6 metre (5.2 foot) venomous red-bellied black snake eating a brown snake -- and well over halfway through its meal.

It didn't faze Young, who snapped a few pictures of the ghoulish encounter and posted them online, for all to enjoy.

"I was standing over the top of it taking a photograph and my wife said 'you're crazy'," he told the Bega District News.

He said he wasn't worried about getting bitten -- the snake had its mouth full. With snake. Eugh.

While it's a pretty extraordinary sight, black snakes are known to eat other snakes -- even their own type.

It's nature, deal with it.
