This one is baffling
They aren’t serious fighting or they’d be biting
Amazing

It’s a mating ritual.
Most people do not know that snakes only have a finite amount of venom reserves, at any given time.
But the snakes know this, therefore, they are loathe to ‘waste’ it by wantonly biting anything/everything that frightens them.
Every single time they do actually envenom something, they must then wait for the venom glands to produce *more*, which renders them temporarily defenseless, and it is *not* a particularly rapid process.
For the want of better analogy, they never waste their ammo.
Hence, all the instances of “dry bites”, where the snake simply seeks to frighten a predator, rather than kill it.
Every snake bite is a defensive bite, *never* an offensive one.
Snakes just don’t work that way.
They are well aware of their own limitations.
Regarding the video, it’s pretty kinky to see two different snakes battling it out for mating rights to a girl who has a 50% chance of not being one of their own kind.
[not that there’s any wrong with *that*]
