    CC88: That reminds me of what my wife saw last summer. She was sitting on the front porch and caught sight of some movement in the grass. She said that at first it looked like a baby bird hopping through the grass. She went over to take a look and it was a big garter with a good size toad in its mouth. It was moving through the grass holding the toad up in the air to make the going a little easier. It was heading for the brush for a little privacy. They are quite the creature.

    I wasn't so sure about the Eastern sirtalis eating a frog, but she did it!

    It is certainly amasing what a T. s sirtalis can consume when its mind is made up . I try to avoid feeding too many frogs because of the parasites, but had two wild caught Easterns last year that would not eat anything else.
