This snake scored a hole in one - after swallowing a 2ft-long IGUANA on a GOLF COURSE.<br /><br />The Golden Tree Snake was spotted wrapping its jaws around the reptile’s head on a green last Thursday afternoon at 4pm.<br /><br />Murray Darling, who is originally from Ediburgh, Scotland, watched the snake spend five minutes swallowing the stranded iguana, which measured at least 60cm long.<br /><br />Incredible footage shows the venomous snake wrapping itself around the thorny body of the lizard to crush it as it struggles to squeeze it inside its mouth.<br /><br />Despite the size of the iguana, it eventually succumbed to the snake on the 14th green at The Royal Golf And Country Club in Bangkok. <br /><br />Murray, a corporate managing director, said: ‘’My golf was bad but I was having a better day than this poor lizard on the 14th green.<br /><br />‘'I thought it was a small monitor at first but I think it was more iguana-like. <br /><br />''The snake had it fully under control. The iguana head never came out from the snake’s mouth in the five minutes we watched. <br /><br />''I was having a horrible round but sunk my only one putt of the day to ensure I got off the green swiftly. The snake was going to win. We left and let him enjoy his dinner.’'<br /><br />The Golden Tree Snake, also known as a Flying Snake or its scientific name of Chrysopelea ornata, is fairly common across Asia.<br /><br />They normally feed on rats, birds, small lizards, eggs and insects but it is rare to see them devouring such a large Iguana in broad daylight.
