My friend mentioned that. Are pythons interested in eating smaller snakes like that?
I don't think it would be worth it.
1) Wild snakes tend to be more aggressive and may cause more harm than anything regardless of size.
2) You're going to have to worry about the snake carrying some sort of disease
3) Your snake isn't used to ingesting other snakes, nor how to kill them
4) There's no point in trying to feed it just once a snake unless you plan on doing it continuously
I used these same points when I had a tarantula...not so much the disease factor because I would catch big-ass grasshoppers in Austin when I visited my grandparents. But with a snake, I would definantly not start feeding it wild snakes at first.
I'd put money on the fact that if you put that snake in there with yours, yours won't know what to do with it. So you'd end up taking it back out.
