Graphic Warning – Snake Eats Toad

August 17, 2017 Elizabeth

It happened again that we came upon a snake eating a toad. Steve stepped out the door and the snake was writhing and trying to get it in. It was far too late to intervene so nature had to take its course. We quietly videotaped and recorded the scene and then let the snake be. If you disturb them, they’ll vomit up the meal and leave with nothing. Scroll down to see the pics and the rest of the story.

Then, later, we saw the snake on the other side of the house and he accomplished his feat.
