They were still at a standoff after struggling for several hours. I eventually had to leave...don't think it ended well for either of them though.

Great Capture!!! Looks as if the snake may have bitten off more than it could chew this time. Did you stay long enough to see if the snake was able to finish it's meal or if it gave up and let the frog go?
