Notes
Observed being eaten by a Broad-banded Watersnake in a small shallow pool next to swamps, ditches. When first observed by my wife the snake had just caught it and the legs were still visible estimated length between 12 and 15 inches while snake was around 24 inches or so. By the time my kids tracked me down on the nature path and made it back to where my wife was with my camera about 4 inches were left hanging out and only managed a few pics to clearly show the long paddle shaped tail.
