Description: I found this snake dead on the side of the road, with its head inside a snail shell. When I removed its head from the shell, the snail came along as it was firmly clamped between the snake's jaws. There were no signs of trauma whatsoever on the snake's body. Is it possible that trying to eat this snail somehow killed it?
