Wild Snake eats toad - six photos

I was going through my hard drives full of files and found this sequence of photos I took in the back yard 3 summers ago. This big gal downed a full size toad, it took her a while, so I photographed it.

I do remember, I wish I could have gotten picture. That's a nice looking garter in your pictures, the ones around here are not checkered.

Toads are beasts lol, I took my Ball python out one day so he could bask in the sun and a large toad bit onto his tail and didn't let go for like 10 mins, it didn't look like it bothered the snake, the snake was just over 5 feet long.
