feeder lizards/geckos

We have freshwater crustaceans in Oz called "yabbies", they often appear on the surface of the ground after rain, maybe they take those, also, they do take smaller lizards, so perhaps they would take a small snake if they came across one.

So I googled them, they are basically the equivalent to our crawdads/crayfish, although they aren't terrestrial around here I don't think. Do they live in underground burrows during the dry season or something?

They live underground and come to the surface when it rains, you can see little raised mounds on the surface, I`ve never tried, but I expect they might be quite delicious..... (Or maybe not).....
