I heard a frog squeaking and looked over to see this ribbon snake eating it! By the time I got my camera out it had already devoured it.

Habitat:

Next to water in the grass and mud

;) I guess maybe because it was eating it was a little slower. I like them too.

I can't believe you haven't snagged one at Oxley, Ben.

I'm jealous Jack. These guys are one of my favorite Oklahoma snakes and I really want to get one in hand, but they're so drafted quick and always escape me!
