Notes

Farancia abacura trapped in funnel (minnow) trap set at 9:00 am that morning in very small roadside wetland. When picked up the snake started regurgitating 3 med-large Ranid tadpoles (seen in photo, likely either Rana sphenocephala or Rana grylio) many of which where also caught in the trap.
