Serpent-demons seldom eat their own kind, unless they're starving, or in specific rituals. (think praying mantis) Anything else, though, is food, and bringing down a seraph is a status symbol.
The trouble with Malak is that he's been raised this way, but has the face of a Seraph. A main part of the story is how he learns to see others differently.
SPOILER: The sequel's based on how he's gotten himself in hot water with the demon community by starting a group that says eating "speaking things" is wrong.")
