this is a pretty neat pic i found while googling and its from the wild so its even better and its legal for me to post it too, id like to see others' photos of things like this as well if anyone has any...

If you're implying that you think it might be a Garter, I'm not sure. It could be a Black Rat Snake, although I'm a bit tired now, and my vision might be fooling me, haha!

[ssssnakeluvr]

it is fooling you...thats an eastern garter. cool pic...somewhere in my gallery is a pic of a garter eating a roadkill bird. I also have seen a pic of a plains eating a roadkill toad.

yea you are tired because it is an eastern 100%, so yea get some sleep lol yea i kno ive seen your pic of the bird , so bizarre, although the mouse in the pic up there looks as if it has seen better days, so im sure it was carrion

..so I decided to dig up this old post:

Well, it took a bit of searching, but I finally found a link I once posted on kingsnake.com:

Photos of garter snake engulfing adult vole.

edit: oh, right. You had already seen it.

A few years ago, on a hike somewhere in the CA coastal range (maybe it was Mt. Tam, maybe Muir Woods...) I saw a smallish snake just off the trail in the process of swallowing a banana slug. I didn't have a camera with me, and I really regret that because it was awfully cool. And because I've got no idea what kind of snake it was - dark, solid brownish, no markings that I can remember.

Sharp-tailed snake (Contia tenuis)?

Banana Slugs are about 100 times bigger than Sharp-tailed snakes Not really, but they're huge compared to a sharp tailed. Rubber Boa? Sierra Garter? There are probably a dozen other possibilities that I'm not as familiar with.

on my other thread , my video thread, the snake in my 2 videos, before i caught her my neighbor said he was walking outside when he heard screaming and chirping and he went to go see what it was and he said he saw the snake up in a lilac bush with a baby robin in its mouth, and he said the mother was constantly fluttering around it and pecking her, but she ignored it and ate the baby anyways, and when i caught her she had a huuuge lump in her belly, and her poop had small featherlike fibers in it and what looked like a piece of beak....that would have been sweet to see

Unless you're the Mother Robin
